What do you need to know. I might be able to help you with some set up ideas. What year and what power do you have in it ?

Default Tuning

The motors are 509 MRD 420 mega blowers I would be lying if I knew the HP just need some advice on what’s the best spark plugs to use and the over all timing locked .. just trying to get the boat tuned.. and a good gear reduction starter … all so looking for a 10qt oil pan like a hardwin or CP … just throwing it out there for a oil pan looks bad port motor and everything else is brand new

Nice looking old boat. I think with that set up you are going to have a nice riding, handling boat!

I have always loved those boats. Sort of nice that you do not have Bravo's but I believe the 3's are had to find parts for.
