Good to hear you had some nice results. I would think with 575hp you should be running a tad faster though. What are your slip numbers on the top end? What rpm are you spinning and what's the rev limiter set at?

Haven't put the numbers into a slip calculator yet. Running 5500 rpm with the B1 and the Hydromotive, 5800 rpm with the labbed 24B1. Engine just off dyno, made 567hp. Rev limit set at 6300. Mine is the bowrider version. It is a little heavier and more bow heavy. Plus it is full of stuff. I need to take an inventory and remove about half of the crap in it that we don't ever use. Engine makes max torque at 4000 and max hp at 5200. I have a 25 3blade that I am going to try. Might be able to pull a 5 blade 23 or 24. have you tried anything like that?

I have run my boat with 620hp with both a standard and -2 shorty and now 800hp with standard and -2, each time the -2 was several mph faster and handled better. Also, where are you getting your speed numbers? I maxed out at 73-74 with 620, now running 85-86 with 800hp...there must be something off on your boat...

Toms rig hauls for sure, I hope to bum a ride in it in the next week.
When you say you made 567 on the dyno what exhaust and accessories were you running on that dyno?
