I had the same boat at one time time and it was a pretty fast boat with the old 2.4 200 merc till i blew it up so i thougt what the heck!! and hung a 260 on the back wow was that thing a hand full that boat wasent made for the kinda speeds i was trying to run it i could run up to about 82 and it would just get to unstable... So i figured if i wanted to go fast and I DO i better get me a Allison so I did and now with the old motor i could 99.7 im putting a promax on it this winter ill lose some speed but it will last a little longer then the 260s do
