GLH I hear ya and understand ya:) I'll post as soon as I know.

Here's a formula that may be of use to some of us sometime into the future

sq root of new hp / sq root of old hp x old speed = new speed:rolleyes:

My dealer up here just did one. As I recall, he was in the low 80's. I'm guessing those motors were around 800hp.

Tim G. 04-03-2003 12:20 PM

Speed
 
I'd say 73. Yep 73.
I've never seen a brand B pull more than 75.:D

Probably gonna need those 30's. Doub't if she'll pull the 32's.

Good luck, and remember... BOAT means Break Out Another Thousand.:eek: :eek:

My guess: 84-87

PBM tested one with 575's,
ran like.......... 82.
Your buddies boats running
more boost, should be worth
a couple of ticks.

Not quite enough info, but I'd take a stab at it and say somewhere in the mid 84.5 ? Those 5s & 10s are hard to come by.

So when is this bad mama jama getting wet??

MIKEHTMSR24 04-03-2003 09:42 PM

One motor and drive is on the boat,
 
he is waiting for dyno time to dyno one of the motors. The second drive is ready to install. I would say a week and a half at the most. More than likely a week.:drool:

Playn 04-03-2003 09:43 PM

1/4 fuel, plus +/- 400lbs is about 9220#

I'm going with 79mph

Sunsation 32 04-03-2003 09:56 PM

82 maybe 83 tops.
