I've never seen that one before and it does sound great but the paint sure looks familiar.:eek:

The owner of that one works with me. He resides in West MI.
He runs well with a pair of NA 540's and is now playing with SXC drives.

would love to know more details as im thinking of doing 540s for mine so top speed with what hp and prop and rpm would be great to know. Thanks

Thanks for the comments... I posted that video on youtube last year and have posted others of the same boat with various setups before that (under the same username).

Yep, boatfreak, very similar paint job... painted on the same day :)???

We have tinkered with several different drive/extension box variations. I'll get into the details soon (have to run).

I have a friend with 700N/A 572's notch transom and standard Bravos no boxes. 95 best and 92-93 any day.

These results are consistent with what we've seen as well. I know the notched transom helps, if you don't have a notch, extension boxes tend to create a similar effect.

PowerplayJ, did your friend do any blueprinting on the hull? Were the drives standard length, IMCO -2 lowers or stock length? What props?

650-700hp will typically get your max speed into the 90's with Bravo I's and a fairly high x dimension (Most guys have gone to -2 shorties to get there). Bravo I 4 blade props should get you there, but you may need to lab them a little to carry the bow.

Here is a good running pic i had on file of chris's boat. Hows he been doing ?

Tibbstoy2 09-20-2012 07:53 AM

The boat has NA540's: Dart Big M blocks, AFR heads (full CNC), Crower Crank and Rods, 9.6:1 compression ratio, Hydraulic Roller Cam (Comp), with holley/AED 950 HP carbs. Headers and tails are 6" taller than Bravo CMI sport tubes - 4.5" tails, dry to the tip.

The tips are custom, we laser cut and rolled the stainless/welded ourselves. We divert water through the swim platform to quiet the boat in the channels. Needed to go with the mostly dry exhaust to avoid reversion due to the cams. The tips allow the water to mix back in before the end of the pipe allowing for good muffling performance when we need the boat to be quiet.

Its fun having the boat sneak out the channel and then wake the dead when you take off!

No blueprinting and standard lowers. 30p Bravos not labbed.
