Gary -
500 efi??? If you got that kinda money, pull dat trigger!! The SB is not going to see huge numbers above what I've already reported just by running light - what is your goal? 75, 80, 100?? Speed takes hp which takes $$. I'm happy for now running lo to mid 70's, but I'm sure that could change any time.....I'll try to get empty WOT numbers before Santa drops by.

Superbabi...14K more now...you know you won't regret it... so seriously do it. You can never have enough h.p. You will cruise at 70 instead of "hitting" it. Full tank or empty...these hulls doesn't matter all that much when you got ample power pushing it. It's worth doing it now... when its brand new... even though it drives up the "price" of the boat "out the door".(That new 300X of mine was 20K to go so far 6mph faster...)

45 horsepower for $14,000?

I'd go 496 Mag(375hp) for a year, then supercharge it...
