It is the third boat in the photo. Will proabally kept it. The Proline is payed for and not worth much.

The orginal set-up was a 1 to 1 ratio. Therefore the props and related gear probally will not work for a slow turning engine like Yanmar.

I am sure we will all still love to see your "stone stock" X5....

My bad...I thought all the power had been stripped out...but props come in different pitches and sizes, no? All the bilge pumps work well I assume?

Come on Blue. Wash the X. It's like i said before. Lots of folks are driving a stock X. Me included. Not long ago someone decided to run a red light and crashed into mine. I posted those pictures of the damage and it was not washed. The idea is that people get to see the color combo you choose, the stock wheels you have, the interior you selected. It's an X5world thing. Of course your under no obligation but it adds to the sence of community we all share and it promotes additional conversation (you know that freedom of speech thing your always talkin about).

The props are small and you would need new struts if you went any bigger. I think 350 Chevy engines, Mercury, Volvo ect is probally the way to go.
The new Volvo system/drives would not be worth the cost given the age and size of the boat.


Bilge pump, not sure will check before it goes in the water.

Don't bother asking anymore. All your gonna get is the silent treatment.

That is a fine looking boat, x54.4blue. Did that gorgeous vessel come with a trailer? I'll be looking forward to seeing pictures of it in the water.

Agreed with you but I would bet he doesnt even have an X5!
