Just put the down payment on a VR6. Hope to pick up in the next two weeks. Our dealer is backed up and there's a wait list for sea trials. Waiting is always the hardest part right?
Not new to boat ownership, but it's been about ten years. I'm a heavy equipment Diesel engine tech that does some marine work on the side so I've spent my whole life around boats. Hell, I even grew up on the Potomac River.
I had to get a VR6 with the 200 H.P. 4.5l sadly, but after my dealer let me pour over the parts manuals for both the 200 H.P. and the 250 H.P. Versions of this engine, the only difference in these to engines is turning, so hopefully I can reprogram this thing once I can get my hands on the ECU. I can tell you getting a OEM ECU isn't an option as there guarding the ECU like it's gold (and at $3800)
Anyway I did a lot of research before buying but as it's a fairly new boat and engine not a whole lot of information to be found yet so we'll see how it goes.
