how much hp can ssm-v drive can handle on a light boat?
 

bravo 1 said to stand max 450hp but can easily run behind 550hp.what is the maximum limit of ssm 5 drive?

around 850.

Tisbad just broke an output shaft on a 5 with 800's on a 39 express:(

We rigged a 42 Fountain with 1200hp Teague motors, & #5's. No problems after two years of running.

reno has #4's not 5's on his ocean

Jesse James,

I think "Shameless" belongs to Rick Lemon, unless there are two of them (and there could be I assume).

Are you thinking of "Shameless" that was at Lake Mead last year? THat one belongs to Rick.

I'm pretty sure Reno's drives are 5's.

Jessie James, the name of the boat is Demolition Man. It rus out of Newport Beach.
