Didja get it x-rayed or sono-checked or whatever it is they do to check the hull for thin spots?

What year is that 115? Does it have a distributor? What do you need to know?

I know a little bit about the inlines. I had a 140 on the back of an 18ft tunnel vee that would run 60mph at 5500rpm. My current setup is a 2.4L 200hp V6 pushing an 18ft Tunnel 90mph at 7200rpm.

It has a dist. Thunderbolt ignition. the comp, cold is 120 psi in all cyl.
I am concentrating on the hull right now. patching chips. reenforcing the transome.replacing seat wood.
The eng is on the eng stand and is getting a good once over, clean-up , inspection check. some wireing needs replacement , and also the grounds.
my biggest concern is the switchhbox.

How fast is a 115hp.? or do you think it will push the boat. the tri- hull is max rated to a 115 hp eng. so its a match.!
