Yeah, we're in the James run...my 28 is a twin. 350magMPI's, Stainless Marine exhaust...had to lose some weight & add a few horses...boat actually sits a bit flatter. I'm turning labbed 27" Hyrdromotives...the Bravo 1 props don't turn as well w/small blocks, don't know why...seeing low 70's @4850rpm. Seems like I could get a bit more speed but still tweakin.

Nice....similar to New Moon...what was performance like with the single BB? What prop? Everybody likes the Bravo 1's I have better luck w/Hydromotive...seem to be able to spin more rpm's....same pitch....must be the small blocks.
Pat took on trade or did you sell outright?

Spilman, Thats a good lookn boat. never seen that one before I like the way it sets with the twins. Its gotta be cool with SMBs are they 377s?

spilman 02-17-2007 11:22 AM

No...Iwish...350magMPI's with Stainless Marine exhaust...Imention the exhaust cause the boat sits better in the h20...weight savings 100lbs per side! It also claims 25-40hp gain per engine...I see 72 @4850 w/Labbed 27" 4-blade Hydromotives. Should I try Prochargers? or Whipples? Has any one supercharged a 350mpi?

Prochargers and whipples scare the hell outa me why mess with a good thing. Talk to Rich about them

spilman 03-04-2007 07:32 PM

I guess Rich went the Whipple route...poor results from what I caught of that situation. Dean Nickerson has a good rep. & says the prochargers will be safe up to 5psi w/ the 350mag's. I just need more! I have a 17'-9" Switzer that ran 81 with a 200 Black max. I have recently got my sanity back & I'm rebuilding transom and restoring that boat..going with a 115 four stroke this time around. 72mph in the AT is too slow!
