your boat looks great, real nice to hear you are out and enjoying the water after all your hard work, sounds like it was worth all the effort. wow what a nice job. What area do you boat? It would be nice to get all the awesomes out together for a weekend to meet one another and discuss our projects, mine is a 2000 38 ft, bought it new.

Looks like an awesome ride 
Outboards on these big boats look awesome,
I am running 3 -225 efi merc. & love them.
I dont think mine would come out of the water without the third motor.
250 xs motors are the greatest, Hoping to change mine to 3-300 xs motors next year & get into the 100mph.
May sell outboards over the winter.
Does yours lean outside on the turns?
I found that werd, but now driver threw it.
Keep posting the numbers & remember to raise those motors, only way of getting max. speed.
Watch your water & temp gauges,,
Keep it coming, we are loving it!

thanks for compliments. so far i'm only seeing 86 but i haven't stayed in her that long and my effin jack plates keep raising and lowering by them selves so till i figure how to lock them down i'm timid about pushing her too far! i know at 2" above bottom i still had 15psi at 82? and i'm not there on rpm's either,i need about 500 more so a little tweaking to go. too bad weather is going fast. but i sure used the beans outta her the last 10 days!

Can you drill a hole, bolt them & set the jack plates?
You can always move them up/down from the motors ?
Easy fix if the are set in the correct location.
You are getting some good numbers with only 500hp.
Great job!
How do they do on gas??
I have always heard that the xs motors are great on gas.
Keep posting, great reading,,,,
PS: Summer is coming to an end up north, dam!
