90 mph at 4000 rpms that hauling . the fun begins's in trying difrent prop's out. this is when you will see the big diffrence in speed #s depending on the pitch prop . but it will also get agrivating having to keep trying diffrent prop's until you hit the magic rpms the boat should be running at .
good luck and keep us posted , by the sound's of it i would think between 110 and 120 mph should be easily there .

When we were on the water this past weekend we didn't have much success. The boat wanted to kick out to the side at about 80 or more and was getting very very loose. There was almost no bow lift. We had to shut her down soon after because of a blown head gasket but it was not safe to see what she would do with the current boat manners. Rik is fashioning a sort of fin for the drive to keep the stern down and is rounding up a 4 blade cupped rolla prop for us. It is exactly what he has said will work get us to where we need so we can open her up and get a handle on the prop to order up.

I will update again once we hit the water.

I like that the steering rams are mounted on the setback box. Makes the transom look much cleaner. IMCO does this too.
