took this boat out today messing around a little and it handles every bit as good as a 24 pantera i had a couple years ago, maybe better!!!. Boat has a 502 in it now but the prop is wrong. cavitates a little and porposes slightly when i bring the drive up. Only turning 5000 RPM as well. Wouldnt a 502 turn between 5400 and 5700 with the right prop? Im not sure the prop on it now. looks like a quicksilver. From what i have been told i should be starting with a 23p mirage and go from there???

the normal carbed Merc 502/385hp has rpm range of 4600-5000
Carb HP500 has rpm range of 4800-5200 according to Merc specs.
Drive height on older Carreras is deep unless its been updated,
prop technology 30 years ago was not what we have today.
It will be a scary ride if you add that much power without setting drive at correct height for the speed that much power will get you.
