Hypothetically speaking
Ive got a 1998 225 mariner supermag with a Bobs lower, great motor, but mid should be shorter for my Carlson, and yes, I believe I'm overpowered. I know, I know ,you don't have to go full throttle all the time, but I'm just throwing this out there in case someone has a 150 promax ss "ish", or even a 200 P.M.,with a 15" mid, or should I just find a smaller power head. Regards, to much thinking
,Chris

That is one of the sexiest engines ever!

That's what I was thinking . Nice engine . Have Mike Chapman or Marty Powell shorten it if you wish . Power on tap is money in the bank !
