The motor made 780 hp @ 6000 rpm. The box helped but I can say how much. I spent a lot of time setting up the drive height. My box is slotted with a screw jack. I noticed a difference with a quarter in change

Impressive to say the very least. How long do you feel comfortable holding 6K?? In terms of seconds/minutes?

It wants to chine a little at 70 but once you drive thru it the boat settles nicely. It's a rush to drive
bravo!!!!(xr or not)

I know the boat well, and Jim can make it fly.
She's won her class at the LOTO shoot out many times.
Great video.

If you have a forged and balanced crank and rods and pistons, a good oil coller and a big oil pan it should do that all day with no problems. just keep an eye on the oil temp

I think the tank holds 70 gallons. Cruise is not that great with the go fast prop. 3500 rpm is about 45mph

Seems like you have a great package there!! Do you have a picture of the Stelling box? I feel my 29 would gain more bow lift with added set back on the drives, resulting in less need for high trim angle to air out. What about your steering?? How is that mounted now?
