Supercharger on a 208 islander??
Can I get some input on a supercharger on a 7.4 454 in a 1994 Baja 208 islander? I am debating on selling it to get a bigger faster boat or keeping it and putting a pro charger or whipple on it and saving until next fall to spend a littlemore money on a bigger boat.
1.Has anyone ever put a supercharger on a 21ft boat?
2.What kind of speed gain will i see?
3. Is this a safe idea only being a 21ft boat? all input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ahhhh, I can teach you grasshopper.
You need to budget about 3 times what you think you will spend. You will need full hydraulic steering, upgraded drive components (assuming you have a Bravo drive) and a new propeller at a minimum.
You will then learn that your boat is going to be spooky at speed & your money should have been saved to buy what you wanted instead of settling on an upgrade to a boat that you aren't really happy with to begin with.
I won't say what I've spent on my boat, but I will tell you that is was too much.
