My guess is it detonated from too much boost, too much timing, or not enough fuel.

Wide load permit for a year in California costs $90 and are over the counter. Check the laws as for the requirements of the tow vehicle and tow times. We only rent the storage units and stay at the Hampton Inn. Fuel is never a problem and why would you want to run Race fuel for 900 h.p.? There are much wider and longer boats than ours. Relax. Doug

CA wanted me to have pace car in front, full wide load procedures - just to go from Tahoe to Sacramento on I 50. At that time 80 was closed to wide loads due to construction. I have one year NV permit -$90.
Plan on going through Vegas, need to check if they will let me through stateline at Hoover. I remember leaving Hoover south being a little tight. Plus, got full inspection at border.
Otherwise, will look into going 395 through CA

Actually, we are tuning it for two elevations. 6250 ft and sea level with a flick of a switch and blower pulley change. This way I don't have to buy another set of expensive props and won't run rich at altitude. Plus, will have O2 sensors installed in exhaust with complete EFI update.

Hope so! Motor was WAY overdue for refreshing. I thought these motors lasted hundreds of hours. Came to find out top end should be done every 50 hrs and bottom end every 100 hrs. Do I have that right? Same refreshing schedule as Merc 1075's... I will check this to make sure I got it right.
