You might have something there, really need to pull the boat and put the runabout in, water is getting low, but the weather and water is so nice. When pulled I'll break out the straight edge and camera
Did you go over what your goals were performance-wise? If top end is you main goal, then 3 x 3's on that hull should be the fastest props. You need to find a set, 4 blade or 3 blade, that you can turn 5,200 RPM at WOT. I'd still be interested in seeing what a set of 4 x 3 XR's, properly pitched, would do on your boat.

there was a guy that posted here with a fountain cruiser with big power and arnesons, I think he was hitting low 8's with a mother of a rooster. Personally I'd love to see these on my boat

I agree with the 4x4s causing bow down attitude. I tried a set on my boat, could not free up the bow even at full trim. Went back to the 3x3s so I could get the bow up.

I'd think some work on the 3x3 props would help - it doesn't sound like you have a problem planing with them, so work them to get what you want.

If that doesn't work, it might be the hull design. Mine has wedges on the outboard strakes, and no matter how much power you put in my hull, it tops out around 65. Guys have tried big power - 700 hp in a 4500# 25' hull. THey see just over 70.

Yours might be the same, w/o significant hull mods, you may be topped out.

That was Sutphen30 on here. He built the engines and installed & rigged the drives. Last I heard, the beast was for sale. Owner had bought a Outerlimits.

Those wedges are also on the 290 PQ's. There was a guy from Canada that ran the Shootout years ago that had stupid big power (I want to say 800 - 900 HP/side) n a 290 and was only running around 90 MPH. Boat should have been way faster.

IIRC, that was a Formula. And it was pretty cool.
