Also complete pair of BMaxes. Just gone thru. Doweled lowers, new propshaft. Transom assys included.

They are currently in/on a boat and can be driven and tested. This is part of a "three boat" swap out deal. May or may not be parted out this way. Make realistic offer to help the entire deal work smoothly.
How much are you selling the 575's for? I have a friend who might be interested.

Talked to Rick at Innovation marine today. He is very helpful and I think I am going to hook up on three 600 efi's. Thanks for all the help! You guys are awesome!!

Bob,are the 600hp efi's new or rebuilds? I've been considering having innovation rebuild my 502's bored out to 540's along with all the changes they reccommend to get the 600hp . They said the engines would be very reliable while running on pump gas.Please let me know how they work out for you.

600HP is pretty easy to get out of a relaible pump gas 540. However, to get to 540cid means not only boring to 4.50", but stroking it as well.

You can't go wrong with Innovation. They built my motors 18 years ago, and they are still going strong.

I'm with Articfriends on this one, I just saw an article where the 620HP version actually dynoed at 650+HP. Add in all the stuff to dress it and you will still have change on a reliable pump gas motor.

Should I need another motor anytime soon, this is the way I would go.

Good Luck with you search.

PS I think the heads need Hard Anodizing and the oil pump coupler may need changing.

I bought the Innovations from Rick. He is great to deal with. Now I want to replace the Eikert exhaust with CMI. The motors are new left over Vovlos with 6 months warranty. He has only four left. Thanks guys for all the help!!
