Default What are you updating/upgrading?

Been slow in here. I’m replacing my cracked/crazed lexan windscreen with an aluminum fairing. Custom made. Currently being painted now. What’s everyone got going on with theirs?

The 525's are out, being freshened up this winter. Put new XR's on it last year so after the engine spiff it should be like new. Boat has never had a single issue in all the time I have owned it, bought it as a one year old with 40 hours. Have to say this has been ultimate perf boat in terms of cost to own.

Thank you Reggie and Merc Racing for one he!! of a package. Gas, oil, gear lube, and a few sets of spark plugs in ten plus years of ownership and this Biotch has never failed to run past 90 every time out. I've been a lucky man!

Oh, forgot, a lot of TLC and wax.

Debating;
Replace Weind 256 blowers on my 575's with TBS or,
switch it all over to Whipple 3.3's.
Superchillers are 10 years old with 400 hours
IAC's, injectors, recirc pumps, fuel pumps, intakes and thermostat housings are 16 years old with 500 hours

Had a major malfunction toward end of season that trashed both XR drives so replacing with SCX uppers and the new dual shaft lower - Also modifying the intake and throttle body

great move. A friend has the dual shaft lower on his superboat. He’s been extremely happy and I think he said he’s up 8mph with it.
