Re: Fastest awesome

Re: Fastest awesome
 

not for long, Dan has a couple of cool ideas coming up for the 30 and 42, they will have some extreme speed, He keeps all the doors locked at the laboratory, must be top secret, Dan has turned into Howard Hughes on these boats, top secret? I'm sure he will let us know shortly, Go Drambuie. He is the mad professor

Re: Fastest awesome

Re: Fastest awesome
 

Guy who lives in Farmington Hills and boats on Lake St. Clair - Lake Erie has a 2000 38' (if he hasn't sold it yet) with a pair of Merc 600SC motors that goes 102-104. These numbers shown aren't that out of line. Two major factors that will totally skue the numbers are the X dimensions of each boat, outdrive gear ratio and prop choice.

Re: Fastest awesome
 

My buddy has a 31 awsome with 950 hp motors on number 5's running 125 mph

Re: Fastest awesome
 

Send pics. No, not of it running (unless you have them), of the boat itself. If your bud has the coin to spend on a pair of 950's, well then the rest of the boat has got to look great. Right?????

Very nice :drink:

Re: Fastest awesome
 

we completely re rigged this boat at my shop Hadley Performance Marine it was a cool project
here is the boat when he bought it with the original 540's 106 mph :drink:

Re: Fastest awesome
 

Very nice Khadley. The paint graphics look similar to mine. Different colors but still the tribal design theme. Re rigging my 31 currently. Is your friend planning on attending (if Dan agrees to have one this year) the Awesome rally at LOTO?

Re: Fastest awesome
 

Nice work on the engine hatch. Installing the scoops looks a ton better than that silly hump on the original sun pad. That is what I am looking at, right?

Re: Fastest awesome
 

Hey 26awesome, You have got to do at least one of the LEOPA poker runs this year with that Hot Rod. With the new power I am installing this year, I will be respectable. But not running as fast as you are. I don't think I will make the spring run, but plan on the Thunderfest in July. Richard

Re: Fastest awesome
 

What prop are you running? Also, what size spacer are you using?

Re: Fastest awesome
 

28 lab maximus 1.36 gears 3inch spacer tried 1 and a 2inch spacer 3inch works the best. Also tried a hydro 6blade from throttle up does not work as well as 5blade max.Brett @ bblades forgot more about props then throttleup will ever know! :cool:

Re: Fastest awesome
 

Thank you for the info. I have a 26' Awesome with a 558 Cubic Inch Tall deck Alluminum heads with a m-3 intercooled procharger I just completed. I ran it last season with out the procharger the engine produced 620 H.P. on Dyno and the boat ran its best with a 3" spacer, 1.5 gear ratio and a 26 pitch four blade - my beast spped was 84 - 85 m.p.h. on G.P.S. Speedo. This year the motor should produce close to 1000 H.P. with my new set up. I have a 30 pitch maximus - I'm hoping to break the century mark!

Re: Fastest awesome
 

Your numbers are right I have a friend with a 26awesome and he has 600hp 3inch spacer.The best he has got is 88mph with a lab 28bravo. He just purchaced a 5blade max from bblades now he,s waiting for warmer weather.I only have 840hp dyno and i have gone 111mph you will be faster then me. GOOD LUCK! Cut flare ring of maximus 2mph

Re: Fastest awesome
 

I ran a 28 brovo with the 1 1/2" spacer and went the same speed as I am with the 26 and the 3" spacer. I had to prop down to the 26 with the extra depth, anyway I'll let you know how well the boat runs. - I agree that the 3" spacer is the way to go!!

Re: Fastest awesome
 

Just a little update. I put the boat in the water to test and it rus great!! I am only producing three pounds of boost at 5500 - 5600 R.P.M's and I Hit 100M.P.H. at W.O.T.!! Since then I have put on a smaller pulley in order to increase my boost I'm hoping to turn my motor at 6000 at W.O.T. century mark - This is the weekend I will test - Wish me Luck!! One more thing the boat handles excelent at these speeds!!!

Re: Fastest awesome

Re: Fastest awesome
 

What gear ratio's on your drives and what R.P.M. are you spinning the 28's when you are at W.O.T. ?

Re: Fastest awesome
 

There's an old guy (named Bernie --about 70yrs old :eek: ) that lives in lake Havasu City, Az. that has a very fast Awesome. He used to work with Whipple on their superchargers. His boat runs around 125mph and he is always looking for a race. :D

Re: Fastest awesome
 

Duffer- 1:36 and 5300 WOT with the 28 inch props. Thanks for any help- James

Re: Fastest awesome
 

Hey James, Is the boat finished? Let's see some pics of the completed project!!!!! Mine is still in the final build phase. Motors are just being wired. Next to the dyno for some run time and pre-tune. Richard
