Thanks for asking, she ran beautiful, I am in the process of really fine tuning this engine, I also made some changes to the Jets per Firm recommendation this engine never ran so good. Sorry about your mis-hap on our motor thank God nobody got hurt.

Moving along ...Shot the inside lower pans today came out excellent..Never shoot white paint in direct sunlight, I mange to create a few runs on the outside which I have to sand and re-shoot not a big deal but ....

Please note this is just my honest opinion, if you are going with a 4 stroke go with a 175/200 if an Etec 150/200 will be perfect. If using 4 stroke consider a hydraulic jack plate to keep the motor up when trolling or during a heavy chop or rough seas. My thought process is you will want to...

Congratulations, One sweet looking V for sure..Post some pictures of her on the water please, I am curious to see how she floats with the 4 Stroke back there. If and when I re-power I will like to consider a 4 stroke the weight scares me a little. Thanks
