I've got a Wellcraft Elite 210 (wooden swim platorm) with a Merc 225 IO. A friend said he can get one of his streetcar racing techs to "bore" the engine "out" to yeild a good amont more HP out. Is this true? My manual says my transom can handle up to 300 hp. Is this the route to go on my limited budget? Sould I let a car guy deal with a boat motor? Can anyone recommend a boat tech to do the same?
Any other fairly cost effective power increasing methods to get to 300 anyone can think of? CMI exhaust/manifold? High-performance heads? Bolt-on Blower?
And how about the prop? Can someone recommend the best type and pitch for power? I'm less interested in off the line speed with 2 people on board, and more interested in top end power for 6 women and 2 kegs. Right now I'm so underpowered in the marina I whale and drift as if my prop wa in trailer position.
Thanks in advance
