The computer mod is worth it on an offshore boat because my Optimax liked to go into guardian mode every time it touched the governor so in rough water it would drive you crazy and when I jack the motor up high for shallow water I can spin the crap out of my prop and stay on top.

The engine now starts, idles and runs better than before and this is an 815 hour engine, if you do the mods expecting 10mph you are going to be disappointed but if drivability is your concern and 1 mph would make you happy go for it.

Oh and be prepared for the engine to sound different.
