I took the boat out on its first test run. These motors are amazing compared to my old carb 130's. They are extremely quiet, and puts the boat on plane in an instant. I tried the Viper 17 props it turned 5500 rpm, I will try out a Viper 16 prop tomorrow to try and get an extra 200 rpm out of them. I will see what kind of numbers I get tomorrow I have setup these engines to work with my lowrance hds system. I will post my numbers after that.

200's or 150's?

how are your drains set up? have you raised deck? how does it drain with extra weight? etc??

They are 150's and yes the boat is self bailing, when I had the bracket and transom done I had the drains moved to drain out the transom and closed the thru floor drains.

did you raise the floor, could you take a pic of your set up, i have a 225 yami on float bracket and am thinking about doing it , but some have said it won't work without raising deck.

No the floor did not get raised, I am getting ready to have the floor replaced and will keep it at the same height
