Re: Miss PatriYacht returns ..........
Speed Buff,
She turns approx 5450 w/ a stk 28 B1 prop at 80mph 1/4 tank 2 people & decen't conditions. She's capable of more but I never got my hands on a 30 B1. (didn't feel like shelling out $900 if I was going to sell her) I did a back to back test w/ a labbed 29 B1 (made from a 28) but even though throttle response improved the engine had to turn approx 300+ rpm in order to reach the same speed as the stk 28 (like 79mph @ 5600rpm) . The 28 is a good all around prop but I bet a 30 or labbed 30 would show a decent improvement.
Sterling set the rev limiter @ 5600rpm but I've never been on it. The motor came w/ a 56 upper blower pulley & was estimated to be making around 3lbs boost (gage wasn't funtioning properly at the time) Currently it has a 54 on it which is the most you can change (-2 teeth) w/o having to reprogram the EFI. With a new gage & hose it puts out about 5lbs of boost @ WOT which is still very conservative. There is a 55 pulley also, so all 3 are included w/ the boat. Sterling recommends 89 octane but we only have 93 here so thats all she's ever had in her.
The same KE 675 is capable of putting out 825hp w/ the addition of an intercooler, pulley change & EFI reprogramming. All the internals are fully capable of handling the additional 100+ hp, I just didn't really want a scoop.
If you'd like to speak directly to Mike D'Annibale @ Sterling (owner / president) let me know & I'll put you in touch w/ him.

Re: Miss PatriYacht returns ..........
Speed- for what it's worth, your wife will probably be all over that boat. My wife loves our 28 and we bought it from Mike (VonBopngo) in a similar way, one yr old, 40 hours on it.
I've brought up going back to a cat, or perhaps 32-35 V with twins but every time I do I get the "look".
She loves the cabin, ride, bang for the buck, large hatch for laying out. It's rare that I do, but I can put tabs down, tuck the drive and hold 20 on gps easy for a tube or wakweboard too. Just a great all around boat.

Paint, oh my goddness why would anyone want to do that. The PatriYachtic graphics are just perfect, as is the name Michael sorry to hear you are selling the boat. Did you change companies, I thought you liked not traveling any longer. Donna

Re: Miss PatriYacht returns ..........
Donna,
I appreciate the kind words but as much as I may have liked my weekends off I wasn't happy overall. It just didn't end up being a good fit. I've returned to Hendrick Mspts where I worked for 11yrs previously. It's home & I know that now more than ever, something I wouldn't have known unless I pursued that opportunity.
Things happen for a reason!
