As for the speed what prop pitch is on it? How much hp does the motor make. I would think that 77 mph may have been high for 4,000RPM.

Do you ever boat in the Chesapeake? Maybe I'll Run into you on the water.
How about on the Delaware River? I'm interested in checking out Kahunaville by boat but never been and I'm not to familiar with the river. Any advice?

Re: My First Formula
Hey guys,
I'm new here but I just wanted to tell you that that speed sounds do-able to me. I have a very sharp F223-LS that I purchased about two years ago with a stock 330HP 454 & bravo-1. I have a buddy that builds race engines and we (mostly he) built a blown 454 for the boat that dyno tested 628 HP. I had the bravo rebuilt and whent with 28P prop. I alos reinforced the stern and engine mounts for safety.
I don't know how long the out drive will hold up but I have hit 84.1 mph on the GPS once and 82 mph several times. If the chop isn't too bad I can spank some much larger twin engine cigs and that makes em mad...
It's a hell of a ride!!!
I hope to upgrade to larger twin engine soon but the F223 is a blast... and not too bad on gas hahaha
