I think you have twins that total 220 hp, 440 hp would be like the "Challenger Hellcat" of the waters and would be stupid ridiculous but certainly insane cool for some of us.

Hi I am in NS too. its good to see some someone local in the forums. I use to bring a ton of stuff too. over time I brought less and less. now really I only bring the small bombardier tool kit that came in my boat (in the fire extinguisher compartment). I think its a screwdriver and wrench with a plug tool. not much else. I came to realize that I probably didn't have the technical abilities to fix anything that went wrong anyway. I use to bring a battery pack too until it failed 2 days out of warrantee.

If I still had it I would bring the battery. anyway I use to pack a small socket kit and screw drivers etc... and extra bottle of oil. I don't any more.
