When can I expect a stocking BRP dealer in Bham?

You can ask BRP customer service, 847-689-7090.
If you need BRP parts give Reeda a call @ 615-847-4909 Monday through Friday 9 to 5.
Is that the requisite "hot parts chick"?
I can order them in town, its just a pain, I have to get head gaskets too, I found a set of the "hot heads", but have been holding off on putting them on since super unleaded is edging up towards 2.50 a gallon.
I have to get a voltage reg too.
Boats are money pits.

If it's truly A GOOD SET of hot heads.... pump gas won't do it for ya anyway!
XP/GT 2.6 or 80 Model 235 heads, take your pick, thats what I got.
I may sell them though, and buy a 200 Merc, since you guys won't do hop up.

Your choice! We secretly do hop ups but we don't let anybody know we do! CM
Does that mean you like the heads?
And by the way, I am all about doing some small things to improve performance without sacrificing reliability to much. Don't want an all out racing engine, if I did, it would be a Merc, and I could go buy one.
Just want to make what I have run good enough to make people go, man thats a good running 150. HAHA

Thought you had a GT 175. Not a 150. CM
The thing about "hop ups" is when you do one thing, you in turn have to do another to compensate. I know what your looking for, the same thing almost everyone is.Most of the time, the people I see do engine mods aren't satisfied with a little... because of the gain that is made. se more gains day to day on correct setup than anything. When you get prop slip below 2 percent and are turning the motor where it needs to be, then you need more power, which doesn't come cheap. I have seen 3000 bucks in mods to get 2 mph.... after a certain point, it get more expensive to get less.... and when you get to messin with compression on a low compression motor, it screws the harmonics up and then things get real fun... especially to cranks...... I have personally been there... done that... and with the right money... it is nice.... but little gains most of the time equal bigger headaches... JUST MY OPINION....
Well Said Doc! That's why Homies don't play dat here. Keeps it simple and if you want to play dat's what Scream n fly is for! Just ask NeverEdge
Unless it is Shrunken head
I am going to repaint the cowl, without stickers. Then when anyone askes, I will just say its a 150.
What would be really funny is to get a 235 block, and then rebuild it and stick it in there, and watch the reactions.
I have a source on that too.
Oh and I am working on the hull, and trying to get some set-up help. I have a prop slip issue, especially with 4 blades, the slip like heck trying to get me over on plane. HAHA
I got one tore up merc 4 blade I am trying to get Mark to identify, and then I may fix it, since it runs better on top then anything I have run .Problem is, it belongs to my brother in law, and if I have to pay him plus pay Mark, I may come out cheaper buying my own. But I have to figure out what it is first.
Don't get me wrong, I like my set-up, but it only goes about 57 to 58, and I would like to see it run mid 60's in the summer. I figure keeping my goals realistic about what I expect is the best way to be satisfied with what I have.

Man ya'll stick all the posts in there when I am typing.
You are making that 200 EFI Merc look alot better.
I did check on scream and fly, and the recommendation was getting the heads I got, and then reeds. I was told my motor won't rev beyond about 6k since the porting is restrictive beyond that, and I am ok with that.
The higher compression will help with punch down low, which I need. And I am not milling them either, they are stock chamber. So I am going to work within my rev limit, which shouldn't cause to many issue's.
