I was lucky enough "to be in a boat just like mine" with the lightweight flywheel that you guys offer and got to run it a little bit........
Boy does it make the motor act like it's an 18 year old male at the beach on a hot spring day surrounded by bikinis!
A guy that owns a lightweight tunnel hull with a black 225 was with me and he said that the acceleration was great!
The most impressive part of the torque curve (yesterday anyway) appeared to be in the mid-range. Coming out of a wide turn at about 25mph, trimmed up pretty decent, I got into the throttle a bit and started trimming it more. The response was very, very nice.
Holeshot was improved as well. Even the wife thought that "that boat" ran better than ours.
Conditions were less than favorable for running WOT, but the results were obvious. I cannot wait to test this boat again. If a heavily loaded boat doesn't see a higher WOT speed, it will be a helluva lot quicker getting there.
