i have a 26 daytona with a 500 hp i just had a pro chrger installed it ran for about 30 minutes the guy who did the work to my boat has lied to me so much. i would rather pay more and go further to find some who is honest. i was told many times not to go to this guy but i guess i had to learn the hard way. i guess i will settle it in court so if you know of any one who has efi and procharger experience and isnt full of shit please let me know thanks

Give Duane Oblander a call. 316-794-8497

Honest jet-boat guy, but really good on engines & blowers. Call and talk to him-see what opinion you come away with. He might be able to reccomend someone closer too.

Definetly, call Rod at Performance Marine. He is very experienced with the HP500s, superchargers, and fuel injection. He also won't bs you. You might not like what he has to say, but to date he hasn't been wrong. The coolest thing is that he'll do what you want and won't stand back and say "I told you so!". Rod is located in Oshkosh Wisconsin, so it's not too bad of a trip for you. 920-236-4220

rod is the reason my boat is in indiana i would never bring any boat to him. he cost me over 5000.00 and now it is costing over 10,000 to get it fixed and so far he is not standing behind it it ran for less then 25 minutes and it is because the install was all wrong if he does refund me i will post it if it happens

I WOULD NOT LET ROD DASH PUT GAS IN MY BOAT. HE WOULD FILL MY PUMP OUT INSTEAD OF THE GAS TANK, THAN TRY TO CHARGE $5 PER GALLON FOR IT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT ROD.

Its a 25 outlaw from Baja. Was a 502 mag MPI. Now 540 with stage II procharger with small pulley. I'm getting water in my oil and cannot find from where. Just had a dumbass mechanic replace all the gaskets and now its worse. I was thinking of trading it in on a bigger (twins) but can't until I figure this out

I will end up taking it to the dealer that I will be trading with. Bend over and take it like a man. Just kidding if I can't fix it I will give them a call. A little far to take the boat, but they might have an idea. Thanks

I won free tickets to the Bristol night race that weekend. Pit pass, busch race, hospitality
tickets, race tickets, and all kinds of free junk. First time missing in 4 years. I going stock next time, miss too much drinking time working on the boat.

Yeah there is some thongs (i'll get pictures if you want) but there something about a 200 lb gal in a thong I don't want to see. I have been into racing a long time.

I have to get a bigger boat for the shootout. My boat did well, but the drunks on board got a little sea sick going from the shootout to party cove. Two years ago it wasn't that bad, half the chicks were already topless by the time we got to the cove. I will miss it. cry
