xxx riva charger
riva injectors 50 lbs
light weight retainers
ecu remap 8650
Riva fuel pressure regulator
14/19 solas prop
worx intake grate

Your gonna need a 15-20+ prop and your gonna use the stock air intake? If so you are gonna have to moniter A/F close as I dont know of many running the stock air intake..

The stock intake is already restrictive and you want to try to feed a huge supercharger with it? Try breathing through a straw and you will get an idea of what I mean. I understand you want to be safe but the the only time you have to worry about water ingestion is with rear air. Do yourself a huge favor and get a 4" intake. Keep the inlet off the bottom of the engine compartment and you will be fine. Zip tie it up nice an high and never worry about it. Make it yourself or order the Fizzle.

A big +1. You would be robbing yourself of a lot of HP by running such a restrictive intake on that charger.

Also, you didn't mention an external intercooler in there anywhere. You would certainly need one with that charger.

Another thing.. I dont know how long a charger that big is going to hold up in offshore conditions, It might be quite costly to maintain.

I run almost the same set up ....

Ext Intercooler a must with that XXX SC , a Solas 15/22 prop with a bit of pitch work will get u 80mph + and 4inch intake a must ...

big wheel like that will cause lots of wear on its clutches & shaft when becoming unhooked.

Do your self a big favor and stay away from those Riva 50s or you'll be rebuilding the engine. Take this advice or leave it, if you dont take it I promise you'll remember this post!!
