Starting to ITCH for some "shredding" (thats what we call it)
Been working a few security jobs on the side and made the 300 bucks for the prop. I still dont know how much my interior cost me. I went by the shop at LEAST 4 times to pay the fellow but got blown off. I dont think I will be going back to the shop any time soon! Soon as I get it back together, (if it ever gets warm out)I will send in some diary pics. |

Terry,
What do you want for the 540, I 've been holding off on buying one because the "I want that" list is pretty long. I'd love to try one out and maybe we could make a deal. I'd be surprised if you need to go to the 542 with all the torque you have with the BB, that thing would pull one heck of a holeshot with the 542 on it. I guess the 542 brings the rpm up a little to help you hold constant speed for wakeboarding but I don't think you'd have the same problem holding speed a standard 240hp engine would have. I guess you'll have to let us know. |

I guess the 540 is better for speed, footin and skiing and the 542 for lower speed...wakeboarding/skating. Ultrahots, what kind of condition are the props in? I'd love to take one off your hands soon. |
