Dude, I was not being literal when I said 1000 hours. I was backing you up for a good part of my quote. Dont make this get ugly, this is a very legit thread as far as Hot Boaters are concerned. I am suprised that there are not more posting. I was just trying to bring up some valid points about how much bang a person could get for their buck. I was not hammering anyone, just trying to add to the thread in a productive manner. Personally, I think going the route you did is the more economical way to go about things. Buth then again, I am just a Jet Dork.
Perhaps it would help if I showed a quote I was given back in early '05, for a high performance marine engine by a well respected marine engine builder. This was sent to me by Dave Weseldyk of Wesco Racing Engines in MI. I have not seen one bad comment about him or his work, on ANY hot boat site, and I hang out on all of them. I would bet that things have changed a little, so don't go to him and try to hold these prices against him, two years after the fact. These prices are NOT at all out of line or excessive at all.
I chose not to use him, and sometimes I kick myself, and sometimes I'm glad I did it like I did, but the point I want to make is that Quality parts AND Quality craftsmanship are gonna cost you, and this is in a niche market where you SELDOM get what you pay for; just the nature of Marine Hi-Performance, and there's a lotta stories out there that explain what I'm trying to point out.
Now what is someone supposed to think when they hear a story of how they got the same thing at 60% of the cost ?.... it's gonna sound fishy....hope it all works out for you and I hope that you don't discover disappointment as time goes on, about how it was that your price was substantially lower.

BEING A PRICK ALL THERE IS TO THAT POST , BUT COOL DUDE ARNT WE !!
Enough with the drama:sleeping: Back to topic......So how many hours have your gotten out of a motor. I am really curious. With comparable outdrives and all, If your set up is legit and ends up only being $10,000 less, it is still $10,000. THe person who said that a NA motor loose HP at altitude, you are talking what, 10-20 hp, you are not talking 200 hp. I would consider myself hitting the jackpot saving 10's of thousands of dollars with a comparable outdrive and with a normally aspirated motor that could get more overall running hours and comparable HP. You guys can compare apples to oranges all you want, but with the items I listed above, I think it is green backs that are compared in the end.

Now who's calling people names and acting like a kindergartener?I never called you a single name.But that's fine you keep getting mad at yourself for writing like a kindergartener.I guess sometimes the truth hurts.:idea:
So to get back on topic I too think that is way to much to pay for 700 hp.I re-used my block,pan,manifold,and roller rockers and spent $7500.00 to make 650+ hp.Using trick flow heads Crower roller cam,H-beam rods,JE pistons,Clevite H series bearings,2 Quick Fuel carbs and full MSD ignition.and I'm twisting it 6800 rpm's all the time.
