I first had a blackhawk on it but got 24% slip whit 29 stock props and still did 95 on the gps but due to the lack of props and the hard shift at 900 rpm wich is not so strange but whit the big duo props its a very hard boom !

So now I have the imco sc -3"short and have run a few bravo s and a maximus but that was a real big one I want to try the chopper 2 because the hull I have is normaly outboard and whit the outboards it runs best whit a chopper

fastest whit the sc is 96 whit a 28 bravo @6100 rpm and very easy to drive almost as whit the Blackhawk

It s a 21 phantom UK build normaly outboard but we convert it to inboard and put in a custom build 406 LS small block pushing 560 hp @6100 and 550ft/lbs tq from 3100





Here you can find a few vids whit the all test drives first we started whit a regular bravo 1X which was 5.5" below the bottom still ran 92 mph but quite tricky then the blackhawk whit a nice rooster and as on rails to 95 mph and finaly the imco -3"
whit a 28 bravo also ran whit the 32 maximus of the diesel hustler and the little ls got it to 90 mph and 5000 rpm !!
Now a 28 chopper 2 on the way to try .

It s 2" below the bottom hoping to hit the triple s feels like there s more left because it s real easy to get it to 96 and doesn t matter if there s some chop or waves from other boats the hull just eats them ,I love it nice little man 's toy

especially on the dock when you turn the key or pass some big boats at 80 or so
