Thanks for your update, Wayne. We tested the same equipment as mentioned above today but Bravo 1 with 26 pitch lab finished (4 blades) prop instead of the 28 lab finished. We couldn't believe it: same speed (68mph) with 4900 rpms max. in fresh water and the Bullet started jumping at top speed. Okay, these were not brand new probs, maybe a bit worn out already but anyway we felt a bit disapointed with all these horspower (590+). On the dyno we had these 590 - 600 hp with around 5200-5300 rpm. Any ideas or experiences with similar issues...? Thanks.

I forgot to mention: we have to run with closed exhaust systems over here. What do you think about -2 or -3 inch shorties to get more speed? This Bullet doesn't have the notch.

I also thought about that but don't have a notched Bullet here to measure and compare. It's a bit risky to just cut a piece out... :-/

hello all.
I'm in Maryland.
ive loved cigarette boats from when I was a kid til now. ive owned a lot of boats. fast vee bottoms, and cats. I just sold my eliminator Daytona.
I really like the 31 bullet. its a great size for where I run, to where the 35 is just to big of a boat.
Ive been on the internet just about everyday for a long while just looking at boats. lately ive been zeroed in on the bullet. most the ones I have found are either trashed and need a total overhull.
Does anyone here know of a 31 bullet that has been re-done that is in pretty GREAT shape for sale or know if one can be bought?
I'm a anal clean freak...lol...
Now, I know with the age of these boats they aren't going to be in the shape of a 2016 boat. but there has to people out there like me that actually take care of their investments. plus most of them that are out there, have been re-done from front to back
please if anyone has a lead or if you want to poss. sell your 31...please let me know..
thank you.
