Actually originally 174s, then 250s to make them 575? I have dyno sheets, here's a pic of the engines before everything came up here to Ohio.

If that's my old boat, the X is higher as you've stated...

It is your old boat, and I love it. Thanks for all the tasteful upgrades you did. This year I modernized the gauges with smartcraft compatible Livorsi Vantage View. I love the way it came out.

How much higher is the X on this boat over a stock bravo boat, do you remember?
