QSM11 635 Wet Conversion

[Jeff Taylor]

Considering going under contract with a 2001 Riviera 43 Open Flybridge powered with QSM11 635’s w 1200 hours. Awaiting performance chart data this coming weekend (rpm, gph, egt, kts etc). <br /><br />This hull came with base power of Cat 3116’s at 350hp. Don’t know the performance specs but I would presume a low 20kt cruise at least. 

i don’t know what the performance would be at 450hp, but I would guess pretty decent. If so, would it be a good move to convert to a wet system, and if so, what is the approx cost?

It would not best cost effective to convert to wet, but it you would be cost effective to properly  re-prop  to  where your engines only made a max of  450 BHP at 2300-2350  RPM–
