The "yellowboat" that now has the Arnesons has more speed potential with the current power, I found out they blew an engine during the sea trail, so a rebuild and try again is in order.
I don't know how reliable the 920 hp figure is/was or the current 720-730 figure for that matter. A different set of propellers is needed as the sea trial was just a seal trial and any prop would do. I at least have a better idea as to what propellers they will actually need "at this power level" to get the boat to go faster. |

Yeah, I wasn't meaning top speed as much as overall handling at top speed.
It's in a few of those SCOPE videos and runs with a great attitude and flys perfect at speed. I don't know what they did different in the setup from the other two #6 TS guns, but it's the right one. If he dry sumped it he might gain a little, but I doubt it'd be enough to be worth it on that type of boat. I'm still amazed it took so long to sell that boat when it was new! :eek: and true, we can run 108-110 any day with half tanks of gas... I'll try to make a video of it this weekend.... we run Torco RTF in our drives, so I don't think we lose that much to the half dry-sump 6's.... now if we had Vern do a complete dry-sump Weismann style drive...it would make more of a difference. Yes, we also have the Hering skegs already done.... I think if we need to go faster it would be cheaper to just change the pulleys.... I finally got a copy of the '07 Rum Run race (which I must say we got some good coverage). Tried to PM you, but it didn't work...let me know if you want a copy. |

I have my PM's disabled to weed out the "why doesn't my password work" bombings.....:party-smiley-004: I'd LOVE a video of your boat! It's always been a favorite of mine since the first time I saw it. I'll send you my email through PM, and you can send me ANYTHING you want involving that boat. :drink: |

Nate, the red boat, I think it has 1000hp Cobras and the yellow boat has 1200hp Cobras. The red boat is really good looking boat.

What about the purple boat with the #6s? That has to be right up there in speed. Sorry I can't find any pics.

2003' 38' Top Gun with Bravos. How much hp is typically required to get the boat to 100 mph? Customer has one with pro charged engines claiming ~900 hp and does right at 100 mph. Can this be right? Hey Rik What up buddy. I did a 38 2001 Top Gun nonstep with 900 Zuls #6 that ran 102-104 on its best day. 2000 TS F2 Dick Simon Boat ran 90-91 0n its best day so yes it is possible to run 100 with 900hp on bravos |
