Just a little bit better than what you were used too...uh?!!

....and you only thought you knew what was good...until now...:cool:

When you just have to go play in the rough stuff...at least take some decent equipment to do it...your spine will thank you later.

Aw hell yeah!!

Oh, I KNEW how good they are, I have a couple friends that have mistress's always loved em, just makes it better when its yours!!

NICE!!!! are they Top Gun bolsters? What is the speed difference between the Baja and cigarette with the same engines?

Looks great. You are going to love the ride when it really starts kicking out there.

Baja best ever was 66 even with these engines and these props always were best on the Baja....the 24 quicksilvers... Baja always went 65...

I tried many props on the Baja and no matter what these were best for top end and cruise..

cig went 63.1 with the same power and.props... there may be a 64 with more chop... cig was only 1-2 footers at best...

I put a set of labbed 24 cleavers I had sitting around itwent 60@5300

my cams for sure stopped at 4900-5000 as the stock 420 cam should..

my buddy has identical boat with dynoed 521hp@5350 he will run 66.1 with 21p mirage at 5400... went 66@5400 with my 24 cleavers. utility cruise sucked...

we put these 24 quicksilvers on his and he went identical as me.... 63@4900 his engines at 4900 made 478 HP.... so I figure my engines are around that HP peak @4900-5000

I lose spewed with any revs over 5000 on my engines

Yes, I think Randy put the gun bolsters in it, they are very nice to have!!

Great job on the boat. The speeds sound right for that boat an power drvies ect. Enjoy Your new ride. Artie
