Henry Motors boat even with a set of CNC Merc 17x34 props never ran much over mid 90's with the 700's. Jeff took a 33 Outlaw on trade for it and picked up a new 44 Outlerlimits with 700's. The Henry Motor’s boat stayed in Omaha, NE for now.

Hey tell Rick the 17x34's are for sale if he wants a spare set, I have them at my place ready to ship.

Oh and who did this 40? Ski Dock? I didn't know they did one with 700's.

Eddie, first thing we did was put a windshield on it when we get her home. Much better now, bugs suck at 100mph. I'll be sure to let him know about the props. I know he was looking to go a little bigger because he was bumping against the guardian mode and it was still pulling like no other.

Send the ECM's to Whipple and turn up the rev limiters
....it's cheaper that another set of props

No, just this was a early wet sump #6 with older (big dia.) cleavers with mainly the bottom half of the prop in the water. Merc. also increased the size of the lower skeg on the redesigned "Dry Sump" #6 drive.

I know the owner of the boat he fly's down for the races in Key West every year. He was a Baja dealer and kept the boat inside all of its life. The boat was taken care of with a open checkbook and does run in the mid 90's. He has had issues with the noise on the Lake of the Ozarks and that is one of the reasons he is selling.

I may be wrong, but I seem to remember reading in the old Baja mag that the boat has changed hands a couple of times. Pretty sure the current owner is not the original owner so to say it has been inside all of its life is not really accurate. Pretty sure the boat needed quite a bit of work at one time from what the article said.

The boat went from Baja straight to the current owner he bought it from baja but did not purchase the truck he had his own topkick he has had it since 2004 and yes it needed alot of work and nothing but the best was used in fixing it everything has been gone through drives trannys new fuel cells to new intercoms all the way down to a recalibrated air speed indicator on the pass side he just dosent use it any more and wants someone else to enjoy it like his family and freinds have
