I keep thinking of things I would like to do to it...this list never ends.
You're not the only one. I told Dorelse I wasn't gonna do it, and just be happy with the stock 175, but I've already got a few parts on the way, and tracking down a few more. I think I'm gonna "boost" the 175 a bit for this year.
if I do, I'll post it on my thread. I was real happy with how it ran last year, very dependable, and not too bad on top end as we were pretty closely matched. but if you're gonna take it up a notch, then I'll play too! I was gonna step up in prop this year anyway because of how much power I still had on tap, but with these mods, looks like I'll be going higher pitch yet. can't wait to see what your changes do for you. like I said, your cam part # is the same as the 228hp, and your carb is from a 260hp. so theoretically, it
should at least put you over the 228 mark, which combined with your thru-hull, should be a very noticeable difference over the stock 198hp you had. I don't see any reason why we won't both be over the 60mph mark, and hopefully we are still pretty closely matched, just more fun that way when we're out playin! not to worry, my mods are simple bolt ons and swaps, won't hold me up for the season. when this crap weather breaks, I wanna be on the water just like you do!
