Hutchinsons.

James, with the editional propshaft height built into your new transom plate you may exceed your 85mph goal!!! Looking forward to doing some boating!!

Roger that i'm excited about this project & the way it's coming together, looking forward to boating with you & testing, 85 mph may just be around one of those light bends in the river. I might look into getting a 26"P to have on hand to test with.

That's the whole idea the only color to have

400

Saw one in person at the boat show, that motor is awesome looking. The e-rude on the other hand is fugly. The 24 with a 400 is the perfect boat.

Did you see it at the NY Boat show last week?
I was there on Sunday but didn't see any Checkmates or Hustlers.

I went Sunday also, I meant I saw the engines. Not one performance boat, at the show. I wish hustler, checkmate, baja, ect., showed up.

An Etec G2 on the right boat looks sweet. Can't wait to see Sam's Starliner.

Let me put that comment in a better way

It is cool you can change the colors of the Erude, the Merc is better looking though, just my opinion. If someone said here is a e-rude I would not turn it away. That looks good with the Orange color match. I had a 250 HO Johnson on my stoker and it did have a really cool sound to it especially with the above water exhaust.

Motors

I am hesitant with change, when the new vette came out i thiught it was ugly, now i would kill to have one. It might grow on me. If i had a 24 brx with either 400 i would be very happy.

 

[Hayabusa]

Almost done

The Merc is going on tomorrow plus a couple of aluminum trim pieces then a full systems check & we're off to the races, yeah

I'm ready for details...

Awesome
It almost looks like the aluminum thickness of your reinforcement is thicker than the aluminum on the jackplate and was wondering if you had any concerns about the jackplate strength? I am still using the CMC jackplate from when the 300 was on there and noticed it was rated at 350HP. Not sure if that was because there were only 350HP out at that time or if it's truly rated for 350HP and should I be concerned...

I suppose this also raises the question on how jackplates are rated and if the predominate factor for jackplate ratings is HP, weight, or some combination. The weights are similar and therefore torque is probably the factor?
