RAYLAR options

[INSman]

Now I have yet another decision to make:
Option A= spend (x) for twin stage 1 Raylar kits that will get me about 550HP per motor, should run similar to a pair of 525's. This 550HP is somwhat significant in comparison to my stock 375HP.
Option B= spend (x) plus another $10k :jawdrop: for twin stage II kits that will get me over 600HP, and will include seasoned blocks, that have been completely and professionally blueprinted, all new forged internals, 1-year warranty and dyno testing.
Damn $hit adds up quick. I have XR's and full hydraulic steering, so the power should be okay either way.

If I had your money I would go for "B" I love spending other peoples money :D You CHEAP ass!!!

Donations, donations anyone ?? :D

[dicudmore]

Donations, donations anyone ?? :D
um, I already give you employee pricing on all that paint type work ;)
does that count as a donation??

What warranty do you get with the Stage 1 package? 10k sure seems like a lot of money for 50+ horsepower each?!? :idea:

[Cole Trickle]

B)
Whats another 10K when you have as much as you do invested.
Write another couple policies next month and your good to go. :D

No warranty for the "stage 1", as I would just be adding to the stock motors and losing the factory Merc warranty for the motors and maybe drives.

no brainer #2......
hey its only money. you can't spend it when your gone ;)
Merc warranty ain't worth the paper its written on.. there is an excellent chance that if something breaks they won't fix it anyway.... :argue:

Donations, donations anyone ?? :D
Asking for donations for the new boat, new house AND talking about upgrading the boat before you get it? :D
Save some for the insurance!

[Magic34]

Ummmm, just do the Merc 525's and get an extended warranty. :squiggle:
Better resale with blue motors.

The 496 MAGS are already in the boat, taking delivery Saturday..

[INSman]

Damn, at this pace, I am gonna' have to sell it as soon as I get it just to afford it !! :hammerhea :2purples: :hammerhea

[Beer-30]

Hell, you can't sell the one you have! You'd be double screwed......Ah HA!
Name of boat: "DOUBLE SCREWED"
On the motor issue, I know I would be so freaked about the money already spent, that I would just run the motors till something broke. I'll always upgrade when I have an excuse, but I have a hard time justifying the other.
It would give you a chance to get used to the boat and then you could use your seasoned motors to build them to (by that time) possibly STAGE-III.

Let me just say that I got off the phone with Teagues shop and they are asking $36,000 for a single new Ilmor 625HP motor. That being said, I am getting a GREAT price for the pair of brand new 600's as mentioned above, with all the stock Mercury Guardian electronics and such. Suffice it to say, $10k under just one of those motors.
I could probably go wrong somewhere, I just can't see how :hammerhea

WELL SAID, I second that.....

[INSman]

WELL SAID, I second that.....
WAY too late on that one, 496 MAGS already in !!
This boat started off as a RAYLAR project anyway :hammerhea
I am just gonna' have to stick and live with my decisions and hope and assume it will all work out. There is resale on boats ?? :crossx:

[Kilrtoy]

. There is resale on boats ?? :crossx:
Yes there is , you can re-sell them at a nice lose.....

[INSman]

Yes there is , you can re-sell them at a nice lose.....
And to think I am having slight difficulty doing that with my DANA :confused:

[INSman]

um, I already give you employee pricing on all that paint type work ;)

I could REALLY use that employee pricing on my service and install stuff too ! :eek:

Is it too late to have them seal up the holes in the transom and throw 3 300X Whackers on it?
:confused:

[Beer-30]

RAYLAR Squared?
