I'm guessing they will see 95mph with that power when fully dialed in. But the ride itself & handling has got to be outstanding!
What a great powerboat!

If the boat was fully dialed in with labbed props that may be possible but it looks like 90-91 is going to be it.

I spoke with Bobby today about the setup of HH vs. the Chief because I was curious to see how they compare.

Hammerhead has 600 inch blown engines making 940 hp, stock 30" 4 blade props, six pack, staggered, spinning 6K rpm's with a covergirl cabin. She runs 90-91 mph.

The Chief has 588 inch blown engines, 950 hp, stock 32" 4 blade props spinning 6100 rpms, staggered, raised deck, full cabin and cabin liner. She runs just under 100 mph.

Both are heavier and comparable in weight, set up similarly, same bottom with the exception of the steps, similar hp and the Chief is close to 10 mph faster. I don't think the 10 hp is making the Chief run faster so it must be the bottom freeing up some speed.

I have some good baseline numbers for comparison.

Bobby, Hammerhead looks great, excellent job!

Couple more shots of the new dashboard and removable bolster. I need to get me one of those removable bolsters.

I would love to see what Bobby could do with the modern technology of today in a 42 Chief with power selected by him.....a modern day classic.

That 41 looks pretty deep in the water. Does anybody know the weight of it?

Does Hammerhead have a cabin? What ratio drives? Wet or Dry sump?
