Steve,
Were were guessing 650 easy. It has the Arizonia pulley. I will end up putting them on later in the year. Dont want to be late into the boating season. I did not notice your hatch when I saw you at Cumberland.
Thanks

I guess it worked out as planned then. It's almost like an optical illusion. When you see the hatch open, it's like there's no way that hatch is going to close over that tall motor. It's still not perfect, I would like to add an intercooler (BS 4"s tall, Whipple 1 7/8"s tall), but there's just no room unless I lower the motor and drive, and I'm not going through all that.
I think that (and efficiency) is why Merc is packaging the new blue motors with Lysholm superchargers and intercoolers. By moving the induction/throttle body to the back end of the blower, there's enough vertical space for intercooling and hatch clearance.
Maybe I'm just "old school", but I still like the looks and sound

If you know this fellow (Nordic Gary do you know this guy, from Ohio?) please tell him to check out the Nordic Regatta in Nashville in late May (29/30/31). We would love to see this boat in person.
Regards,
Steve

It was a BMax a few years back. It kept splitting the lower case.
103 was the beat he had seen at the time and he said that was streched out with 11 lbs of boost and race fuel on the warmed up Phaff motor.
