Hey guys just wanted to give you all a heads up on boats to watch for with PPS engines. One is a 50' NORTEC. Not sure if the boat has a name yet but I will find out. Another boat is named WARCRY and will be kept at the Ozarks. Another is running at lake Havasu,AZ. And like always FLAT BASTARD will once again compete with the IHBA at Firebird lakeAZ. We qualified second at the Coors light world finals and will go at it again in April. Enjoy the pics

we are using the torque meter system on the engine that moniters torque as you pull power. After talking to the customer and mercury racing we decided to only put down about 750 ft.lb.tq to the mercury drives. Plans are to upgrade the drives in the future. What we wanted to was upgrade everything inboard now to minimize what would need to be done when installing better drives. We really had very little room to do what the customer wanted. Here are some more pics.
