I think that Gary's Howard 28 has done a best of 133mph.

I think this cat will beat that.

Gary's top speed was 130.3, and that was on a bigtime race tune, turning over 7500rpm's and around 1400hp

Acually its is a issue with the drive. My boat is burning the prop a little bit with the new sc lower also. Erics eliminator does it also. I think it is the drive design on the lower unit.

I thought this might be just on Steves boat/outdrive combination, but sounds like it is a boat issue.

Your thoughts?

The next time you give it a speed run, set the boat and leave it after the run so you can take a pic to show the prop angle it likes.

How about a pic of the prop?

I sent Steve an email for engine centerline to put on the drawing but I have not recieved anything yet. Got the transom drawing.
