It took a while, Mikes a real gent... we had a slight miscalculation on the size so he's storing the Fords Cab until we go down to get the engine PDI'd.

Agreed, its a monster !!

265HP on the back of a 7m VM should make for an interesting ride and happy that the magnum gearcase is used now on the HOs and not the L2 which was not really suitable for this type of rig...

prop choice is a 21" Rebel, not sure if that might need to be swapped for a 23" will see how she performs on the sea trials.

Now I see why you want all that XD100
Quite an outfit, and yes it will be interesting to see how 250s of the two flavours perform
Agree with the comments re Mike, he has helped me out more than once
