Hope this helps do not hesitate with any questions.

I have a 97 Kevlar gun also with 600SCs and would be interested as to what pulley size you use and and also the new rpm she is turning? At my max, 5200 rpms 26 4 blade Bravos I can just hit 80+ on my gps. With out tabs and drives that far out she is a bit to squirrly at that speed on the bay for my liking.I'm thinking with a few more ponies I may achieve the same speeds, but with some tab and less of my drives out.
Any info is appreciated. Thanks! Glen

That boat you are reffering to Matt is Victor's boat (LivinVIP). I have been on it. It is EXTREMELY clean. 500EFI and has XR drives that have recently been rebuilt by TNT. 73 MPH. Extended Covergirl cabin. It is maintained with an open checkbook and is absolutley flawless. I don't know of any boat that is nicer in that year.

I had(I was National Marined) a simular set up in my Tiger
540/500 Bulldogs with XR'S
Ive seen as low as 67 mph and as high as 73 mph
I had 11 people on the boat with a good 2' Lake chop and a full tank of fuel and saw 71mph on GPS.
The boat doesnt even come alive unless its got 2-3' waves and is going faster than 60 mph.

Biggus last winter said that it felt like it was 10' longer than his Top Gun. Both boats are non-stepped.

Your diesel should eat it up no problems if your pulling a Tiger. I have a V-10.
