My 94 400EC has the 502s and I do most of my cruising at about 1200 rpm. That gets me between 8-10 mph on my GPS. I seem to have the normal amount of problems for a boat of its age.

I just started replacing all my cockpit vinyl as well. I started with the seat cushion next to the sink and the plywood had a little rot. Unfortunately, this probably won’t be the only one needing new plywood.

That looks great! I just bought a sewing machine and plan to get my feet wet with the flooring. Are the aft bottom edges of your helm station and passenger station even with each other? I just made my templates and my port side station sits about 2 inches back from where the starboard station...
