Wouldnt a 502 turn between 5400 and 5700 with the right prop? Im not sure the prop on it now. looks like a quicksilver. From what i have been told i should be starting with a 23p mirage and go from there???

--- Any input is apreciated. "thanks"

This Carrera was set up by Mark Poker [Cat Can Do, 28' Skater] at , Litre Performance Marine Warren Mi years ago. I believe it has really never been raced since then. Give him a call he might have the props and any history about this Carrera.

thanks for the info guys! TRS drive on the boat has a spacer thats removable to shorten the outdrive. currently has the spacer in. Maybe a good idea to remove the spacer? looks to be roughly 2" thick.

When the boat was rigged she had a speed II Trs drive, they are about 2" longer than a stock Trs drive. With the props that are available today you may find some speed with the spacer out with the stock Trs drive. How long will it last with big power & higher X ??????

It was nice out so i figured i'd go mess around a little. pulled the boat out Sunday night. Talked to Mark at Litre this morning. Engine is coming out of the boat next week. Mark is supposed to come check the hull out this week some time. We're thinking its gonna need an XR drive with the kind of motor we want to put in. Should be a pretty bad hotrod for next summer!
