SHOW ME THE HORSEPOWER!!!!

It's a #6 drive and I haven't ever hurt it. I can go about 175 hrs or so between refresh. The valve train needs attention by that time. Turbos are not as hard on parts as a blower.
 
Here is my little Merc

horse power lol

I know it's on the trailer and not a checkmate, but here's a shot of my buddy's boat. It's a 20ft 1981 Centurion used to be a jet boat but as you can see it was reworked and it has a 355 chevy small block that puts out a mild 475 hp and on the lake with 3 guys in the boat ( 300 lbs-me, 165 lb - driver, 170 lb ) , we ran 80-85mph on gps..... it's a surf board with a gutsy mota ;)

My '94 Evinrude 4.0L. It started life as a 300hp version but has been given Evolution Marine's Stage V treatment and puts out around 425hp. I keep it disguised as a 250 to keep the local enforcement at bay and for other reasons. ;) So far I have seen 86.1 on the GPS, still more to be had but I need to learn to control the walk. Less setback and some weight in the bow as well as a foot throttle are next on the list.

Thanks!
Right now it's still in the crate from when I picked it up. I can't wait to get this thing all put together and fire it up! I hope to light it off in about 2 weeks.
