Awesome.
But if it runs 180 with 1075, hard to believe another 125 hp gets it 20MPH. Thats 1MPH for every 6 HP.

With the gear on it now its very hard on the limiters at 180mph. With a taller gear it would run faster. The 1200 boxes not only give 250 plus hp & alot more rpms which equate to even more speed.

Keep in mind, you gain 250 hp plus another 1,000 rpm, see how 20mph can be done now?

So many people spend a lot of money on big power, and don't spend the money afterwards to have the boat set up properly, or in most cases don't know who to send it to for that service. That's why I spent the money to send to Real Fast Marine, after I learned what Reggie could do with my supercat light "little speed" we won the worlds by over a minute in front of the second place boat, and we were 1000 pounds heavier than anyone in our class.

When a boat is set up properly "dialed in" your motors last longer, you get better fuel economy, faster and better ride, and safer too. Think about it and you will see how it's money well spent that over time will save you money. Want the best and done right? Take my word for it, send it to Real Fast Marine, I have 2 times so far, and both times they were untouchable. Reggie has talent.

I cant wait to get back in the boat with you this year. Have some fun in extreme class & see how fast it will run in the shootout. Thank You & look forward to seeing you soon.
