I currently have 580s in with 10-71 blowers at 6psi and I believe it is probably making about 950, will run a tick over 90 all day in pretty much any condition
Thats awesome ur seeing 90 in a mistress. Mine with full teak cabin 630hp 572s and #3s would run hi 70s in chop.

What drives you running

Can't remember his name on the site.

With 420's I saw 64 mph with 23 Mirage props at 5000 rpm, with 598 Hp I saw 73.7 @5500 rpm, current power was 73.5@5500.... working on more now as they did not perform properly..

TRS boat, with A/c usually half tank of fuel, trimmed to the moon, takes TONS of trim to see good speeds get that bow up... on MY indicators it goes fastest with drives around the 7-8 Mark

The Scarab don't compare in ride quality, you made the better choice..

Did you ever weigh it? Dyno sheets? That's awful fast for 660, but I think Kevlar ones are about 800-1000 lbs lighter so that's a good mph gain

Pete I finally saw Ralph yesterday, he is very happy with it's looks & performance. Ralph had a new engine hatch sun pad made for 5k so you know he must like that old school look....
