Nice! What year 35 is this going on? And what kind of power? Looking forward to your results!

It's a 2001 race hull. The motors are N/A 550 hp. With reg XR's and hydro p5x's it would run right at 90 @ 5500 rpm.

Are you going to run SSM style props on them or Bravo style?

SSM Herring wants to start out with a 17x30. Would like to turn the motors 6200 rpm.

Ok. Looks like you're shooting for 100+ mph with those Herings? Any motor upgrades?
