Down here they convert all kinds of boats to outboards. A thorough inspection is due.

It will take some real horsepower to make that boat run. I had 800s in mine and it ran a best of 90. The newer step hulls were a big improvement.

You HAVE to keep positive trim in them and stay on the power when turning for sure. I had a straight bottom an old straight bottom top gun with 600s and it was 12 mph slower then the new stepped version.

I have had them spin in front of me in turns as well. They are definitely loose in comparison-the video of everyone standing in the cockpit at loto shows just how "on the edge they really are" Cats rule in my book...
