news flash, all the front seating in a 31 is going to be side by side, whether the bolsters are shifted to one side or not

NOT TRUE DUDE...THE 27 FT AWESOME HAD SIDE BY SIDE AND EVERYONE HATED THEM. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A STOCK AWESOME WITH SIDE BY SIDE ON PORT OR STARBOARD.

VICIOUS CAT WAS THE 31 THAT HAD SIDE BY SIDE SEATING.
IT WAS A PAIN TO GET IN AND OUT OF...YOU HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE SEAT.

LOOK UP BOAT REGISTRATION NUMBER. ACTUAL DATE OF MANUFACTURE PROVIDED.

CALL MERCRUISER WITH DRIVE NUMBER, TRANSOM NUMBER( GYMBALS AND HOOK UPS) AND ENGINE NUMBER.

THEY MAY HAVE COME OFF ANOTHER BOAT OR HAVE NEVER BEEN REGISTERED AT ALL.

MY 31 WITH 500 HP RACING ENGINES NEVER SAW 90 MPH. THAT BOAT WOULD HAVE TROUBLE HITTING 72 MPH.

I have Gen 6 Big Block Blower motors making 750 hp each on 93 pump gas with IMCO extention boxes and IMCO Shorts and 5 blade herrings making 105 at 5000 rpm- I spent a lot of $ to make the lead sled heavy mother do the 100mph trick- you r lucky to get 95 with your rig-

JB you have spent the time AND coin to go that fast. And it will/should for a long time to come. It's amazing what we do to make these things a little faster.

JB, How heavy is your boat?

I don`t think your motors make a REAL 750HP! Did you have them on the dyno?:drink:

YES! of course I did- six hours each to set up and dial in- and the actual max HP i got was 735 but why be picky? HP depends on a lot of ever chainging factors such as air temp- ambient pressure and boost. Hell I could make 1500 HP if I wanted to! My engine life expecency would decline dramiticaly if I did use that much boost but it is possible to do it if I did not care about the motor longevity!

I don't know, but it is a heavy monster and that is why I love it. The weight gives stability at speed and a lot of mental comfort in rough water!
