Wow. The 3.5 pulleys at 5800 rpm sound like something from outer space, I'm scared to keep it there long. Thanks for the set up, the engines are different animals this year!
I may crank up that limit and hit that same spot this weekend. I run a tablet for gps and the speedo app max speed memory only stays until u shut it down, need a screen capture of triple digits

Do not run out of gas! I had a stuck sending unit on my SB side and it was a very expensive malfunction. When I switched all to the port tank and tried to start it BANG backfire and then my blower seized later that day.

I personally think backfires kill these little blowers. In the event of a backfire the angle cut gears ramp off each other and knock the blower out of time by bending the timing shims and/or shattering the bearing retainer plate.

SWEET VIDEO DUDE !!! 
You'll never get that kind of reward from a cruiser LOL
Congrats on the new ride.
I wouldn't sweat it to much in decent seas like yours were but I'd be hard pressed to repeat that type of ride in rougher water.
It won't be the boat or the powerplant that'll break, it'll be the outdrive.
My buds 40 Outlaw had eaten several XR's behind his 575's when they were stock. Last winter he urgraded to Dyers 871 575kit and picked up noticeably more speed with no chillers, they were brutally affordable like less than 7K. I don't think he's pushed her that hard more than once or twice since. He had a thread here then while doring his installation. Try searching "troper" and look for 575 in dec or jan. He's looking to get B-Maxes soon.
See ya,
Kelly

I saw that 871 thread, definitely the hot set up...but again, how much can these drives take...and how much more can my wallet take?

They'll take it till they munch it, LOL
and unless your very well off you'll feel the pinch of every upgrade purchased.
My biggest fear would be reentry from being airborn at those speeds.
To the best I remember Toms boat never came out of the water when he spit drives.
Heck, two years in a row he ate one on the Toys for Tots run down to Port O'Conner in decent water,
I'm sure boat weight also plays heavily into his misfortunes on the drives.
I'm curious, what's the weight of your 38 with fuel aboard?

I'll be wearing my Fountain t-shirt tomorrow on Mild Thunder's ride...he asked if I would squeeze into the driver's bolster WITH him to make it feel more like the AT. Should I be concerned?

I am slacking big time! Who knew a speedo app would forget the max speed as soon as u close it?
Better bring a bag of pre popped corn with you on the fountain!

Too bad the Drive Guardian has not yet been fully put thru the paces and tested on bravo drives, you could put the throttles down and no matter what the drive would only see the preset (custom per application) TQ.
Its like a clutch between the motor and drive.
IMOP its the answer for broken drives
