Sounds like your boat is at the best props with RPM,s
The way I look at it, the BT is a huge boat and to get it to 70mph with stock power and not break a drive is great. If you start pumping the motor's up the drive's will start to fail.
Floating Condo is what it is.

The solenoid is rusted bad. Need a new one. Other 3 work good. Need a new one. Any suggestions where to buy. Merc dealers have closed up around here.
Love the Water Condo and it loves the petro.
Thanks Bobby

Low 70's with 500efi's is the correct speed for that boat. 525's will get you a few ticks more. Glad you like the boat, and welcome to the BT family! :D

Got any more pics of the boat?

Soaked solenoids. Broke it loose and cleaned it. Its working fine now. I think the headers are CMIs. Finely got some pics to upload.
Thanks Bobby

Glad you got it fixed without having to buy a new one. There really isn't too much to them, (watch me fry one now). Did you peek at the TV's on the EBAY site? Nice looking BT.

Thanks
Going to order 1 today.
