Birddog,
Thanks, The little seat time I have in this vessel I can already tell that this hull can take much more than the n/A 502 mags that I currently have.
I understand that you were running some big power in your Bullet. Can you remind us what power, prop your spinning and speed you were getting out of your bullet?

Yes, already getting the 'more power bug'
Thanks

I ran blown 468s, Very mild boost {4 lbs} @ 650 hp
Labbed props & a little more boost she would see 90 {GPS}
The hull loved 70-80mph...On rails

Birdog,
Any truth to over 90MPH and these hulls get squirly. If so, would bigger k-plans make it stable to be able to run up past the century mark with the right power.
