Hello,
I tried to do a search but didn't come up with anything so if this has already been discussed elsewhere, please just point me in that direction.
I am considering a -10 build after owning my -8 for about 3 years and beginning to think about a future need for more seats. When it comes to the engine, Vans recommends IO540 with up to 260hp. Just doing some quick searching on what is out there for sale, I am not having much luck finding 260hp variants but there is more than a few 300hp versions available. Is this an option that any others have gone with? Looking first at any safety issues with installing the higher HP engine and then any build related issues to fit the 300hp variant. I am not familiar enough to know if the mounts, accessories, intake/exhaust change much or what if any additional weight the 300hp has. Thanks in advance for any input!
