    DF70....engine upgrades???

    Motor is running good but with the boat improvements (new/bigger batteries, extended rear deck) the weight has gone up and the performance down. Buddy was talking about "hopping" up his OB (i think its a merc) with bigger heads etc. etc. and I am just wondering if there are (bigger heads or bolt on accessories) that I can do to add a few horses???
    You should know that in bee tending if you don't shut your trap the bees will get out.

    You might need pushbacks. My boat would be faster if I did some "pushbacks". When someone asks me if I want dessert I should just say no and push it back, but I don't. Same with second helpings. My boat would be faster if I didn't weigh 280#.
