No Prob, Enjoyed watching the build and I know you paid for every MPH you achieved with the new configuration.
Spoke with John Pompi years ago, and he told me back then a properly set up twin staggerd only takes 50 more HP per engine than a tripple to run the same speed.
So if your running tripple 700's
a properly converted Staggered would need twin 750's.
Take Care

LexanLarry/Jim Darr,
boy you sure have nerve talking about an Apache, maybe we should dig up your old threads on the 47 you were trying to buy and you didn't even know it was the 45.
I went looking through threads to find the gps pic, glad they found it. if I remember correctly when the hull was totally stripped and empty it was 6400-6700 lbs.

Dont know why its so hard to belive with Drysump drives and the props available today verse's back then,that's what they should run if set-up properly.We also were turning motors little over 6000 RPM Do the math !! One less motor,#6 drive, rigging,about 1400lbs then the fuel for third motor 100gls is 6-7 hundred lbs. Do the Math !!
