cool video, what is the best GPS # you have gotton out of your boat at so far Andy??

Nice video, how fast is your boat?

Thanks!

My gps doesn't work - I have to buy a satelite antena. I've hit atleast 70-71, but I'm only spinning up to 4500rpm right now. She's got more.......

The hull rides great. I had a problem with one of my trim tabs and ended up driving all summer without them.

Hi Andy. What is the top speed with the new motors. Now that you had plent of time wiht it.

Around 71. I really haven't had a lot of time in them at WOT nor have I spent any money trying to chase down higher numbers. My wife was always pregnant or we had the little one on board so we just cruised around a lot. It needs some better props and could run upper 70's in the ocean. The fuel pumps, carbs, and cooling system is all setup for 500HP. Could be easily changed to 500hp's with different cam and springs.....or so I was told by my builder.

Since I bought the boat and started to do things correctly it now runs in the mid to upper 70's without having working gauges.Added four blade props. I now have new drive gauges and will install working tab gauges. I still have a great deal of work to do on the boat. The carbs still need to be replaced since the base plates do not match. The cooling system, oiling system, steering, and wiring had to be redone. I had to pull the motors to fix all the mistakes.
Yes the drives where painted with rattle cans. I am redoing them now.
