Those look awesome!
But what about water injection? Where does that occur?
Someone needs to buy these - I'm not in the market right now after all the stuff I bought this summer - boat, trailer, lift.

they are 2 yrs old with maybe 25hrs on them at most. they hook into your standard water feed line that comes into your factory manifolds. I put them on the 22 then pulled the motor apart and sold it to buy the HTM that i currently have. They will bolt directly onto the 22 and 23, just figured I would put it out there for you guys.

Okay guys, need some help to figure out what exactly is going on here.
Yesterday, for the first time in like 2 months, Georgian Bay was dead calm. So, I got to really put the hammer down. With 2 people and just under a full tank of gas, I saw an indicated 78mph at around 5200rpm. Now, here's the thing - I still had about 15% throttle to go. I actually backed right out once I saw the rpm reading because the max on the 502 is 5k rpm. I have verified that the prop is indeed a 25" Bravo 3 blade.
So what prop should I upgrade to? Clearly, there's more top end in this boat, and I'd like to see just how much there is.
I'd also like to know why the boat seems to be very fast for that hull/motor combo. I am wondering if I got a particularly strong 502 from the factory by the luck of the draw.
I must say this thing is just awesome!
