Wolf it certainly has paid off for you. I did my 78 with Arjay a few years back and have been very pleased.

You can see from the picture the little bilge is very tight, with two batteries, two bilge pumps, oil tank, live well pump and thru hull tranducer. So far i'm very happy with the entire set up. I guess all the hard work has paid off.
Man those Etecs are sweet!...48 mph from a 150!!...

Did you order Arjay online or purchase it locally?

I ordered the Arjay over the phone from the distributer in tampa.

I had a 20" prop when I first put the boat in the water. But, the pitch was much to large, it would only turn about 4700rpm, speed was good but RPM was much to low. I recently installed a 17" prop. made a big difference. I didnt loose any speed but the RPM's are right in the sweet spot. Couldn't be happier with the etec so far.
