took this boat out today messing around a little and it handles every bit as good as a 24 pantera i had a couple years ago, maybe better!!!. Boat has a 502 in it now but the prop is wrong. cavitates a little and porposes slightly when i bring the drive up. Only turning 5000 RPM as well. 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???

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 ??????
, looks like you had a busy day testing, any luck..

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!
