Hello everyone!  This looks like a cool forum, but lets get this over with-  I have an Outboard!!!  I hear V-drives are pretty popular here, but don't be too harsh (I'm new....)

Their all pretty harmless, except "The King", he can get a little feisty. He's in control of the names, so be yourself and he'll call them like he see's them.  Oh, wait a minute mines "Whacker"  :D

Welcome!

The motor is a 87' Merc 200 with a CLE lower unit (nose cone & low water pickup) Right now it's getting a exhaust tuner and relief holes drilled (four 1/2 inch holes on each side of the lower unit). It has a Bob's jack plate and Mazco Chopper prop- I think it's a 26".  Not as loud a big 454, but it will be louder.....

Nice boat!  Looks fast-  How much setback do you have??  Are you able to trailer it with the engine down or do you tilt it up?  Are there braces inside your boat to the transome?

It's 10" and all I do for towing, is lift the jackplate about 12" off the ground and you are good to go. As for the braces- No, HST's have a very strong transom and this engine weighs in at 570lbs. :) I run a 30 pitch merc chopper on mine an it works great

The holes haven't been drilled yet- how much louder do you think it will be??  Should I worry about the "noise nazis" at Havasu or Parker??  I see jets and v-drives all the time that have got to be 100x louder than any outboard, are noise restrictions getting more strict??
