picked up motor today, dyno sheets from scott/merkel racing. 700torque, 730hp, pump gas. No clue how fast it will be. Hey addition, what kinda mods, and speeds r u looking for

530HP/502CI Not sure about speed increase. Possibly mid 70's.

cannon, thanks for the quick line on the motor. Im sure somebody will snatch that that tall deck rite up, What speeds are you getting with 600? any chine walk?

Good luck with your new toy. You better look into a good drive and steering, with that kind of power. Mine made 930hp/805tq.I used a b-max upper. It should be going in the water for the first time in 2 weeks or so. Cant wait for summer

You guys with the big power have to keep us posted on your numbers! Pictures also.:eekdrop:

This should be an interesting ride, Hang on tight.......

WOW, what he said!

Congrats on the new tantrum, looks great!

Carerra 1,
First, Congrats and Welcome!
You're gonna love this boat.
Second, 500 HP will get you 80mph if your setup is right with the right prop.
Third, if it doesn't have external steering, get it! This boat will be capable of speeds that needs more than simple cable steering.
Looking forward to seeing it on the water!
