Floor was easy breazy once I got the console out of the way and all the screws out. Lots of corroded screws to deal with tho.
Good luck on the paint...mine is a PPG. I paid for a known good name cuz I didnt want to experiment with the paint and possibly having to redo it.
I can get about 33-35mph. I put the whale tail on to do the opposite when on plane. It allows me to get the nose up and out of the water...before hand I could run about 27-28mph...now I am in the low to mid 30's.
Lastly the Etec is probably the smoothest, quietest, most efficient 2-Stroke...
