That boat has a curse on it! Not impressed with how it runs in the video, looks really wet. RPM seems high for the speed.

I spoke with the company that installed the motor. It is not a 900hp they said it had a 740 hp and the boat runs in the mid 90's

If you are talking about the guy in MI who the boat was originally built for, no he has not seen a dime. If you are talking about Hotstang I doubt he has seen a dime either since I believe he has an IOU second to the guy in MI. Not a good situation.

Wouldnt doubt the 740HP so I suppose it could run 90...though I would like to see it on the GPS recall. I just dont think Mike Morales or Brad Ayers have spent enough time with props...tough to do when you are busy phucking people out of lots of money.

Everyone keeps telling me that this boat was "supposedly" originally rigged with twins and then converted to a single. I do now know a lot about "Force" boats but for the power it runs decent they claim

Rik, it was originally ordered with twins, and to my knowledge they would not fit (transom was never cut for them). I think it would be a great size boat for twin LS motors and your drives...would definitely be cool. I cant speak for how the boat runs but I can say it is most likely not the drives fault if the boat isnt running 90+. I have been told they are a heavier hull and I know it is a true 29'.
