    Cheaper alternative to the $5000 Mercury CNC prop

    27’ Speedster twin 300R Silver, maroon, orange,

    i like your color and graphics choices. although my 28 has 400's, if you build the 27 lite enough, it should have about the same performance. looking forward to seeing your boat at Havasu this summer if that's where you boat.

    Have a system removed from my 598 boat motor. Holley dual 1000 CFM throttle body, manifold, spark arrestor, injectors, and a MEFI 4b controller. Program in ECU was for a 700 HP 598 and Dyno at Precision Marine. About 4K invested, low hours, all for $1k. Will sell MEFI ECU separately for $350.
