That's exactly what I'm doing. Mine will have an exposed outer tube frame and boat board/sea-dek flush with top of tube, maybe even slightly elevated 1/4". Mine will taper towards the rear and the ladder will be in the middle. We going back 36"

    well not so much of an upgrade, but more a fix before detonation. 15 more days and motor & out drive are back together (happy) and connected to the boat. Interior should as well be completed. 2 weeks later the swim step (after the 4 of July)

    I love that seat! It looks like a comfy sofa setup!!! Sweet rockers too.
    Putting those in a stock motor free up any HP without adverse effects?

    Some peps have actually installed 1.8:1 rockers in their MPI (non-magnum) engines.

    YES...reducing friction wont give you more HP, but it will allow the motor to rev quicker and sustain longer runs at higher RPM's.

    Compression, flow and timing is most that matters.
