Re: Blown 271
I have a 1998 271 with a naturally aspirated 540ci 675Hp rebuilt from the pan up HP500. It runs 80 on the GPS. It's still no rocket out of the hole but midrange and top end accelleration is great. The hull can handle the speed. These boats take a while to get on plane and that stresses the drive. You'll need to put a 2006 model XR on the boat to handle the extra torque and HP. Hey, you'll never win a drag race but you can't beat the ride and with the extra HP 80 MPH feel nice.
