Power - Upon receipt the the boat had 502's at 460 hp, installed Borgwarner transmissions and Mercrusier TRS stern drives driving 4 blade stainless steel Bravo 1 propellers. This overhaul took place in 2002 replacing the original 454's at 330 hp each. I replaced both engines with 540,s at 600 hp June 1st 2016. Current hours on these engines are 170 hours. I moved to Indianapolis and this vessel sat idle for for 5 years and I retired in April 2023.
