You can expect to take his money after you whip his @$$. They may have alot of power, but they also have alot of weight to haul around. If you can't take him, even if you have to push your car, then you have more to worry about than this boat.
Don't make it flashy, just whoop'em and leave him crying. Then spend the money on a cam and headers. Or a new set of gears.
