Awesome.....looking forward to the results and your impressions.
Where did you source the 8.1's? Did you have to do any transmission or shaft work, or was it basically plug n play?
Fly, you were probably asking Marc but I'll chime in..........mine were plug and play, no shaft work, transmission work or prop work. Smartcraft was also installed. Sweet spot is 30 GPH, 25 MPH, 3600 RPM. Used to be about 30 GPH, 21 MPH, 3300 RPM. The boat used to cruise with the bow raised up a tad, I could level it out some but then I was into the 4 barrels. Attitude of the boat now is more a level ride then a bow high ride, my attitude however is higher now because of these motors :grin: The marina that did the job got the motors from Mercury Remanufacturing, they came with a 3 year warranty
