2750 MCOB coming in for a strake mod and a whipple upgrade on the 525.
Boostpower will be doing the mill.

Should be a cool project.

Boat was designed when 500's and 525's were big and gen 1 2750's had lots of lift in the design to keep them quick.

As engines progressed to 6/7/8 you don't want that lift - it contributes to chine walking and instability.

Taking strakes down or off and filling in the removal is the mod.

The gen 2 molds had the mod incorporated in 09 so all the newer boats made past then have this mod " built in" and we perform the mod on older boats that want to put more HP in them - like this customer.

Strakes mod? Whatcha doing to them?
I lifted this pic from a current build.
This is with the mods from the current mold setup.

The inner lifting strake I believe? On the boat to be modded has a lip extending down on the outboard face of the strake.
It's simply a matter of shaving it off and refinishing the surface.
I'm simplifying it a bit.
Snap of the finger...just like that. Lol.:rolleyes:
