Re: 05' 353 w/600sci's drive height or props????
 

With the new props installed (32p labbed to 31p) the boat performed better out of the hole and cruising speed #s increased but to get the #s seen in the pic the drives have to be pushed out to 7.5 on the indicators. That seems to be a little far but the boat is fairly stable and is not trying to let loose in the rear. I think that these are good #s considering the weather conditions (close to 90 degrees and the humidity was probably around 90 percent) but they are nearly identical to the top end #s posted originally

Can see numbers a little better on this one

Re: 05' 353 w/600sci's drive height or props????
 

I thought that I would post the recorded #s with 32L31
4000rpm 65mph
4300rpm 75mph
5255rpm 90.8mph/wot
This was with 130gal of gas, two people, full fresh water tank, complete gear, and a large cooler full of courage.

Yall running the Mystics of Pleasure Poker Run Sat? :drink:

Yeah we were down for the run and had a great time. Do you know of a 370SS down there that will run 62, 63? It is light blue. We ran up behind that thing and paced him, he looked and sounded great. ITS 525s I guess.

My buddy is looking at purchasing a 370SS with the same setup next summer. He'll be pleasantly surprised when I share these speed numbers with him.

Oh, BTW, of course I'll be sending him to you Robert! :D

I think that is silver diamond pearl and belongs to the Chevy dealer in maybe Destin? I didn't sell it,we were working on it while I was in the hospital after the truck wreck and I was not at my best negotiating skills as that stuff was dripping into my arm :p . But yes,a blue motor 370 is sweet.

Very nice boat, and it looked as if he has his priorities strait too, the name was WHAT EVER SHE WANTS!!! My wife liked that?? :D

The 400 SS is now available with 600 Mercs

Wonder how fast this big boat could be 65, maybe 68 ?
