I think you are right on this...im solving which v6 L-legs are "bolt on" suitable for ficht powerhead and do the swap later...

Do you think that ecu would need some adjustment because of the wider tuner and open offshore leg?

First time on water yesterday evening...what an experience!!! Engine has torque and power like too much...

I was in a little bit hurry and there was air left in the hydraulic steering. Even though boat run like a train...darkness and concerne of steering gave result of 96km/h to gps...and i think that gaspedal was just on its half way to floor...

I´ll fix steering tomorrow and go for a new test run with video cam... I have high hopes for this boat

You really need to find a 20" mid, and while it's apart I'd put some solid mounts from 'Jenksam' on Scream and Fly in there. Made a big difference on mine, much easier to drive
