A prop change will be the single biggest improvement you can make to your boat's performance.
I wouldnt bother with pullies nor an intake by itself, as they will only add 5-10hp each. I have no idea what shipping to Argentina would cost, but all the parts to do a heads/cam/intake upgrade (including hardware and gaskets) can be had for about $1k USD. That would add a solid 80hp to your 240hp engine. I would do a prop change first, and if you still want more, save up for this type of upgrade. You'll get the most benefit (and it makes the most sense) to do all 3 at once. ------------- |

Regarding shipping cost think about 70 to 80% plus prices payed in the states. So 1k there is almost 2k!!! I'll consider the prop change.

No lead in fuels here Eric!!!
We are paying U$D 0.80 x litre the 92octane, that's like U$D3 the gallon. Boating is certainly a luxury here. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2095" rel="nofollow - 1980 Ski Nautique Commander 351W |

Kapla, if your friend is after that PCM transmission perhaps we could group buy the engine/transmission. I just want the engine since I want a 1.5:1 tranny.
Tell him to contact me if he's interested. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2095" rel="nofollow - 1980 Ski Nautique Commander 351W |

more hp to improve hole shot when loaded for wakeboarding, but as recomended here the best thing to start on with is a prop change. and then see what happens. I hitted a tree last time i went boating so i have to make the claim to the insurance to get me a new prop. Happily iŽll let you know how new prop perfomed.
