Harley, what kind of speeds have you been running loaded/unloaded? You have mags right?

Hi all,
I hope you can help. I have a 2000 Outlaw 33 with 550cu in procharged M-4 10lb boost with over a 1000 hp per motor, imco scx uppers and 2"short scx lowers 1.36 ratio with 32 4 blade props labed by Bblades turning in, and I think the center of props are about 4.75" below the hull but I have to remeasure to make sure, no extension boxes and I can only get 90-92mph at 5200rpm and 10lb boost. My boat mechanic told me that the boat its not getting the bow lift and that's how baja hulls are. Reading the posts you guys are getting the same or better speeds with much less power than main. I was hoping I will get over 110 is it possible? Can anyone tell me where is the mistake?

Welcome to the site!

Some ideas

Extension boxes, blueprint the rear portion of the bottom of the hull, new scx 1300 lowers blueprinted by WCM might help, lighten the bow of the boat and add weight to the stern.

103 sounds doable maybe 110 if you dial her in perfect......

JT and myself have the poker run cabin, Crayola crazy has a custom one off pad bottom so our boats are naturally faster

Post pics please

boat has 496 Mags, (NOT HOs), bravo ones, and bravo 26s.

I can ALWAYs hit 66 no matter how loaded.
Empty and choppy for the river I got 68 1-2 times.
I have hit 69 ONCE in the Pensacola pass following some 3 foot swells.

Not bad for the loaded version, (Genny, AC, Vacuflush)

No clue and he doesn't remember all that, he did all the work 10+ hrs ago, he just said he wasn't happy at the cost vs speed pick up. After reading it really sounds like it's pointless unless boxes are added.

Kevin covered it pretty good.

The SCX lowers have been known to cost some speed loss....Wilson seems to be able to make them work.

Check the running surface area from the end of the inside strake to the transom and from the edges of the outer strakes for straightness,

Next is the weight distribution.

I would imagine you have aluminum heads ?....if so, you took weight out of where it's most needed.

Here's something to try.

Pick a day that is relatively smooth out

Take all the junk that is stored in the cabin out including cushions and access covers etc....a little bit of weight that far forward adds up.

Get a couple hundred pounds of sand bags and and strap them to the swim platform, run the boat and see how it works.

If you do indeed have a center of gravity issue, this should prove that.....then you have to address that.

I don't see you getting to 110 with the current rpm you're turning....110 is what I come up with at zero slip

Yep, shes running good.

ok for the comparison.. basically same power vs my 454 mags and you have raised X

I hit 63 usually with most loads.. lighter, 64 and 65 with just me 1/2 fuel and 80 degrees low humidity.
The humidity over here really kills my power for some reason.

Ran 64 in orange beach with 6 adults also.

moral is it seems the raised x is good for several mph or more considering you have condo package!

oh.. I was only able to hit 62ish with 7 adults, 2 54qt coolers, 1 soft cooler and bags in cuddy for womens accessoreis towels etc. Weird thing was she would pull strong till abour 4500 rpms running 60 easily then when I put her in the corner, she didnt gain anything with all the weight.

note: I do have something going on as i felt a lil bit of miss, not enough to lower rpms but enough that I could feel some hesitation around 4k rpms or so.. Thinking I need to check/replace wires and plugs?? injectors were just flow tested 50 hours ago when they put new long blocks in.. Anything else cause that?? initially thought it was passenger moving cockpit causing it.

Ignition control module would be worth a check.
