Hey Stephen, not sure if I met you beings that I ran the "Thunder Over The Lake" Poker Run in 2006 at the LOTO when PBP held it? I can tell you that Shane "Liquid Fix" Pierce was my best friend so you have my attention!!!!!!! Shane was a 1 of a kind boater and lived about a 1/2 mile from me. He died doing what he loved best racing me and others back to the "State Dock" at the Lake Cumberland Poker run in 2006.......R.I.P. Boys you better be careful tapping 70 plus in rough water conditions.......FYI! Looks like you wised up over the years with you new set-up Stephen.......:-) Anyways.......
I have raised my "X" dimension at least 2-1/2" and it has helped.....
I have exhausted the idea of triple digits and the 90GPS game with my 25 Outlaw from all the drive and engine failures......

750-800HP. Thats if my last jackass engine builder gave me the right dyno sheet?
I would say when I dial my prop in where it will need to be 87-88 GPS. Now that I have a better camshaft, the right static compression and built by Schumaker Performance......
Best I saw last year with supposedly 785HP, a super agressive 30 4-blade at 5300RPM, Imco neutral box w/2" shorty and no tabs was 86GPS. A great riding boat but a slow as hell hull.........
BTW, some very nice 25 Outlaws on this thread I must say......
BTW, hey Smitty! Ya'll want some real world HP and GPS numbers, Smitty will tell you some stories for sure. I have alot of R&D with 25 Outlaws but a 272 bottom aint no different.....IMO

Ran mid 70's with blown 502 and 28 pitch around 8 psi of boost
Ran 82-85 de[ending on load with merlin headed 502 turned waaaay up on the boost
Ran 89 loaded pretty hard with 4 big guys, 2 coolers and 3/4 tanks of gas with 950 hp, ran a best of 92 and change with same motor running light with 2 people
Currently runs mid 90's any day of the week with medium load at 1050 hp
Has ran 100 with 1115 hp pulley on it turning 32 pitch 6200
Set this motor up to run naturally aspirated also and by simply swapping ecu's and removing the blower belt-runs mid 70s that way with 650 gross hp running light and lower 70's loaded down with passengers, gas and coolers, FWIW, Smitty

What drives are you guys running?. I would think most Bravo drives are gonna be junk quick with this kind of power.
Also did any of you guys fix the hook on the bottom?.
I have a 98 Outlaw 25, and we put a motor in it last year and it went 68 with 3 broke rings and bad leakdown on Cyl 6. so we fixed it and ready to go now, maybe first start tonight

Oh also we raised the X Dimension to 1.5" or so(about 4" higher than factory setup). This may be causing the bow to plow, but it has a good amount of hook visible on the chines..so we are thinking of sanding that off. the rest of the bottom doesn't have that much, but exploring options.

I have around 800 HP from 540 cu in with m1 procharger. Saw 85 first time out last year and hope to get around 90 with some tinkering this spring.

Hey. Just curious as to what prop your running. I run a Bravo 1 28 and have seen 84 at 5400 rpm. When i get my engine back i have a 30 that I'm going to try out then maybe send to Brett @ BBlades for some tuneing. I also wonder how long my drive is going to last. Bravo 1 XR with -2 sportmaster lower.
