How can i get that much more out of it with out LOTS of money?
Add a blower or more Cubic inches. There was a 272 down in Jacksonville at a poker run we did severla times and he ran a solid 80 MPH and the boat looked totally stock. He had a carbed big block making around 650 HP and he could drive it.

yep,,,,, from over trimming,,,,,believe it or not,,,, you will actually start burning a hole in the skeg,,,,,Ill see if I can find a pic somewhere.
Cheapest way,,,,, buy a complete motor and sell your complete motor !!!!! Anything else will cost you 5k+ Get some longer tabs to,,,,, I have a set of Martiniboat's bennett to fake Kplane tabs around here somewhere,,,, he used my boat as a template for the conversion. .....Oh, by the way, They don't porpoise at 86!! |
I used to trim my 272 out till the center " tail " or rooster was just breaking the surface,,,, that seemed to be the fastest on my setup.

Here are the tabs. Couldnt find a way to stop all the glare,,,,sorry
|
What power is in it?
|
how much for tabs? they bolt up to the stock dual ram set up?
my boat has a 454 Mag, in it with just under 300 hours. |
$400,,,,,, correct,,,,, the bolt holes were taken right from the Bennett tab as well as the ram location,,,,, direct swap.
|
if you don't mind with stock power, what will i notice?
I have allways heard you can bump tabs down a little and it will lift the ass end up and pick up a mph or two, i know my stock ones do not do that. and i NEVER use them. So please explain whawt you think this will do for me iin more detail if you can. |
I dont believe they will give you any more speed,,,, its still drag,,,,, but the angle will be less and wont be gouging the water like the shorter tabs to be effective.
