    Question Got a question for you all......

    I receive quite a few technical questions as to things with engine configurations and such. Comment questions and concerns type things. Some in which I feel will be helpful to others such as

    I have current configuration and I want to do X Y and Z.

    If it is an engine should I or Can I re power my boat with 350's and my boat is an 05

    Would people be offended and say I am spamming the site with Contender by posting this up because it has regards to the boat lines we carry or I sell? The original sender would remain nameless and un-mentioned because not everything is everyones business

    Thoughts please....Thanks in advance!

    if you go running data on engine configs lets see it... im debating on twins or trips and the different hp. i know it all depends on the hull but if i could see a chart with some clear cut performance data, that would be sweet... im tired of hearing just talk... visual comparison is awesome.

    Thumbs up

    I think it is a great idea to share technical info. I wish I had as good a reference to ask those kinds of questions about re-powering my Luhrs
    now so I can do some research before I need to re-power.

    that's my .02

    Your in the right place somewhat, I worked for a Luhrs dealer for 4-5 years Don't know how in depth I can get but if I can't help I can probably put you in the right hands

    What size range, center console or walk around? I may not be able to give you exact performance on them depending on what it is but I can give you what I know and what I see from my angle pro cons etc

    What are you trying to compare?

    Trip 350's vs twin 350's or trip 250's vs Twin 350?
