Default 04' 36 Spectre ?'s

I was wondering if anybody had any info on the 36 that Peir 57 has for sale, it has 525's with ITS, and it apears that it has no notch in transom, I think it was a test boat for MERC, what kind of speeds does the 525 produce with this set up?
I was also wanting someone to break down what people mean by these have a tendency to hop a little.
Thanks

It was the Mercury Lake X test "mule" for the 700SCI/NXT package.

The Stylin raceboat is notchless too. Handled horrible with the #6 drives, we sent it back and had it filled. Now its great. You should see around 110 daily and maybe 115 witht he conditions just right.

Stlin is layed up pretty heavy and has a tunnel tab and ballast tank. That being said we did race a 36 Skater first in C Class then in p1. Somedays the Skater would win somedays we would. Granted neither Skater was a new boat, but I think in real roigyh water the old Spectre would do just fine.

There is a big difference in this boat with the #6 vs the bravo. The notch was filled in on the #6 boat to give the boat some more running surface to help carry the extra weight. To be honest, the boats that I have seen with the notch filled in running bravos don't seem to run as good as the boats with out the notch. I think 110-112 is about all you will see on a good day with the 525s. If the drive centers are tight, maybe you will see more but If I remember correctly 110 was about the norm for 500 and 525 boats. do you know what ratio drives are on the boat?
