I saw 75 with TRS.

78.6 with Konrads.

Fastest was downhill with the dually full of fuel.

Good luck with your project.

Also the motors ran for 700+ hours before it threw a rod from what I heard. Flawless

Sweet! I think I will se 75 one day with right props and water if not oh well I was super surprised how it ran with last engines but those were bombs

These hulls are terribly inefficient, they ride bow high and you cant use a bunch of trim to get them out of the water as they tend to plow upward instead of pushing forward. I got my n/a 540s to 82 at 5800. I personally think it takes a crazy amount of power to pass that 75mph mark, 50 or 100 wont make much of a difference. 23p props will kill the cruise, if it were me, I would leave the 25s on it and advance the cams 4 deg and just settle. Im still working out the bugs on my new combo, props are difficult to find for #3 so im kind of limited. I have run 89 to date with 40 more cube, way better heads and 10-71 blowers! I was hoping to eventually see 100 but I doubt that will happen, should be a solid low-mid 90s boat

8Sec, what kind of power do you think (or maybe you know) you are making? Where are the drives set?

Oh inknownitntakes a ton but man I went 73.7 with 600 hp, 75 would have been nice and I will get it there I just expected too much... To see 100 in these you need 5's and 1100+ hp or more

Im running 6# of boost right now, I think they are making a little better than 900 in this trim. Drives are #3 mounted 4.5" from bottom. Im currently running 17.5 x 31 3 blades but have a ton of slippage ( over 20%)

Interesting, mine never rode bow high. I could never get the bow out of the water much. . And It had huge tabs, however I never really needed them. Boat ran straight and was dialed in. I guess each boat is different. Mine was a 1985. Now the Top Gun I had, that rode Bow High, but all Top Guns Did because of the raised deck and cabin characteristics.
