I couldn't agree more. I think there is one 192 with Dean's reflash, in a pump blueprinting thread somewhere here by @WFO PerformanceI can't believe someone hasn't tried this yet.

These boats are running on the rev limiter with the intercooler upgrade. I'm sure this would put a 192 in the 53-54 mph range.
The waterbox does not get hot at all, warm at most. Unless you ran the engine dry I suppose.I tested my theory yesterday that a big part of the noise problem on our boats is due to the big hollow space in the back of the boat and I think it made a noticeable difference. I stuffed 3 pieces of 2'x2'6" open cell foam that I had laying around (2" thick) into the back of the starboard side of the boat through one of the little maintenance holes. I think it really did a lot to stop the sound from resonating back there and quieted the boat overall, especially at the lower to mid RPM ranges. I currently have a sheet of the same stuff covering the fuel tank too and I noticed a difference when I put that in two. I think the open cell stuff has the most impact in slowing the sound waves with the type of noise our engines produce, but unfortunately it going to be far more susceptible to mold than the closed cell stuff. I am going to open up the back lid so I can really get in there and actually glue some pieces in there where they should not come in contact with any bilge water. Anybody know how hot the water box in the back gets? I made sure not to put any foam near it when I tested, but wondering how concerned I need to be with that.
I ordered my thru boats. Net.
