LOL you are something else. Nobody was talking about the conditions presented,it was all about speed. I bet a freeman cat can outrun you in 4 foot waves. :rotfl: |

It is. Skeeters are slow, we run Bullets. My uncles Bullet hit 92 with a 225 Merc Pro Max and its a 1998...Brothers hit 90 with a 225 Evinrude and its a 1996. Both look sweet. |

Keep in mind it is a regular fuel injected vmax,not a hpdi. They are much easier to mod.

Nice...I love the pre-hpdi vmax motors. Just putting the hydrotech exhaust tuner gains close to 20 hp. They are really choked off from the factory. The hydrotech sounds bad to the bone too. |
