Post 2ND Hand Performance upgrades....
1848 Geaux Customs Bare Bones Edition
09 36 PD FPR, HydroTrim
2 Batteries
6gal fuel
1guy-250lbs

Mod's
Stage II EVT heads
-EVT Roller Rockers (lash .005), Port/Polish, Decking 50-55 not positive (no markings on casting found), stock gasket set, Stock Valve springs Shimmed at .100
-BPS Exhaust salvaged from Mitch (Thanks)- gutted and rewelded LOOOOOOOUUUUUUUDDD! Needs baffle
-Ported and polished intake using DB8 directions............Thanks
-MB 45mag Gov. Spring

-prop has seen better days but not too bad............

Before- these are all good weather conditions (no wind, little chop)
27-28 deep water
28-29 shallow water- dam close to 30 though
all at 4100rpm best speed, gov.spring set at 4350rpm maxed out

After Mod's-
20plus mph winds heavy chop deep water (white caps)- head wind at that
constant -27mph running at 4300rpm
Gov.spring was set at 4400


Overall very happy, speeds were down I'm sure because of weather but throttle response is much improved, boat gets on step faster and motor does not lay down at all when you hammer it out of the hole....................So far so Good... Knock on Wood.....

Special Thanks, to Mudd, DB8 and Mitch for the info and hook up!
