700 hp, 5 lbs of boost (B&M 250 blower) single 1050 dominator, prop shaft 1/2 in below the hull, 1.32 Imco 2 in lowers, 32 pitch bravo 1 prop spinning in. No extension box and motor at the transom. Hop is about 75 through 95 but not bad, rough water there is no hop. At WOT the nose carries very well. 113 gps at 5200 rpm. there does not seem to be much if any differnce in speed when the tanks are full. It does seem to wollar around more at slow speed when the tanks are full. It planes very easy. 113 was in fairly flat water, I think there is a couple more mph/rpm if rougher water.

One thing I wish we all knew would be the actual weights of our boats.

I think the answer to my original question about moving my motors 12 inches forward comes down to "try it and see".

the previous owner told me mine was 7600 with fuel. Charlie, good to see ya here. The boxes would need to be raised to keep my prop high and not loose my X. The old merc 10 inch boxes are tough to locate and very expensive. Im already configured with driveshafts, so I only need the boxes.I hope to intercool and put the boost to 6.5 if time permits this winter.

This is the situation that we all are trying to avoid. Add to this a little angle or being "crossed up" and you stick a sponson and barrel roll.

Your Chris is 8,500# with fuel. That makes your speed and prop slip even more impressive!
