Built a 540ci 9.7:1 with CNC Brodix 320/119 heads and a proven cam from my builder. Going to run a dominator against my desire an expect to make 675+. I worked on the bottom some and cleaned up all the knicks and scratches top and bottom. I'm anxious to see what it will do. If it will turn a 30P prop at 5400 with the same slip I have now, it will be capable of running faster than what I would consider safe...

Also sitting on my spare trailer with a new full cover!

Did you repower this year?

I actually just got a chance to run it this morning. Working on breaking the new power in but it is obvious that it's going to run well.

Nice! Please keep the thread updated as this was a great project.

Sucks to have lost this threads pictures. I finally got the break in oil out, gave everything a once over and made some hard passes. I'm up to 86-87 at 5400. Running very flat and more stable in choppy water. We didn't dyno the 540, but I'm guessing it's making 650ish. The most fun part is the acceleration from 55-75. It pulls really hard through there. Thanks for following the build.

Badass boat T-Hawk!
Boat does look like it rides wet / flat

looks / sounds good, maybe some cup in the prop may get the nose up a tad.

Thanks guys. The slip % is really good for an old flat bottom. I am hoping I can find 3-4 MPH in props, sanding the lower and taking a close look at the bottom below the lowest chines.
