Boat looks great. How did it perform with the new 502s ?

Not too shabby. It's into the low 80s without full time mufflers. We didn't have a lot of time to test and tune before putting the mufflers on which slowed it down a couple ticks.

Matt Miller built a new 32 Sunsation XRT with them and has gotten high 80's out of them. Motors seem to be a hit. It is always tough being the first owner of new engines.....

Great looking boat, though I am more partial to blue like the 37 that went to Texas! Pat keep up the good work!

That 32 Sunsation is a lot smaller and lighter than a 33 Active Thunder. I'd expect that.

This is the first of any boats with new 502 HOs that have the Corsa Captain's Choice exhaust. Exhaust routing was not easy with these new F'd up, or shall we say S'd up manifolds and exits.

The Sunsation is about 600 lbs lighter and the XRT boats have a very basic cabin (no liner, no sink etc). I wasn't mentioning the boats for a comparison rather the fact Matt just got his boat on the water a few weeks ago and it was the first 502 boat they have built. Matt likes to tweak his boats with every trick out there to make it just a little faster so I suspect that boat will find another couple MPH to hit 90!
