also im with old guy...completley strip the engine compartment..check everythign and replace or fix whats needed..PUMPS..WIRES..and so on, sand and paint the bilge while empty..once u have saved some funds..and new motors go in ..u be happy u did so !

the 420 cyclons are a little different from HP420's and u should be able to sell them even in not running condition just for the parts..!

the boat would really be haulin ass with some mild 540's and the drives would easaly take that !

Go N/A...no electronic BS..some nice 1050 on a nice 540 and u should see 650-700 HP on a mild 93 octane set up.. NO NEED FOR BLOWERS ..just more to worry about !
Dont go for bling, go for reliabilaty !

Exactly, it would not take anything fancy expensive or exotic to set up 502s(509s) to put out a reliable 500-550 hp and with great reliability.
