Thanks, I couldn't believe the price either. He wanted $2200 but got him down to 2k. I expected to find some old motors with burnt piston's but when I did compression checks the lowest hole was 125 and the highest was 129 and that was cold with the throttle closed. I done a leak down as well and they checked out really well. They also still have the serial Id numbers on the freeze plugs so they are original power heads not rebuilds. The only have around 350 hrs on them according to the gauges that came with them. I found a pair of carb 2.5s last week here locally for 3k. If they were EFI like these I would of got that pair too. Still might end up with them due to the guy may trade them for my 23' Proline and trailer. There as been some deals around on motors lately. Keep me in mind if you come across and Hipo 2.5 stuff. Still like to find some 7 petal fronts and some promax blocks if possible. Not for the 25' but for the race boat. The motors on the 25'will remain stock for now.
