The cabin in the 33 feels bigger and taller, and yes chris's boat sounds awesome and I can imagine you would be pulled over alot up at higgins. Runs fast for sure.

Rick,
The motors were originally Bulldogs. We bumped them up to 572ci and 9.6:1 compression. They dynoed at 700 hp at 6000. They were still making alittle more past 6000, but I dont want to spin them higher then 6000. As of last summer, I hit 93 mph on radar with a pair of stock 30 B1. I was actually hitting my rev limiter with the 30's. My slip is really high ( 18 % ). I tried a set of 32's, but only made it to 3800 at 72 mph before my port drive let loose. Rebuilding the drives this year and hope to try the 32's again. If I can get my slip down to 12-14%, I should be in the 100-103 mph range.

Call me when you get up on thursday and I can pick you up on my way down. Also I read some old posts on drive spacer and prop set up and wanted to clear things up, am I to assume that the 37 with 525's and XR's the best set up is 1" spacers with lab finish 32's the best set up ? just want to put it back to the correct set up.
