What he's not telling you is, you need BIG kahunnas to ride in that thing at 93 (93.5 to be precise - on his Dash mounted GPS and verified by a Garmin handheld).
What he is also not telling is that we've been chasing a fuel system "ghost" for the past several months that was causing his fuel pressure to drop at WOT at high RPM's. With that sorted I figure he's got something more in the bag.
BTW: The Dart Pro -1s are CNC 335s and the camshaft specs are pretty large (sorry Ian!).
I'm convinced that this boat can do more (poss. 95 +) with a bigger prop, as is.
AND he did all the mods himself and this thing has been running reliably for at least the last three years. He even runs it across to one of our sister Islands (a 90 mile jaunt through deep ocean) at least once a year!
If you doubt how this thing runs ask Gary Ballough (I suspect you might know him) he had Ian breathing down his neck in a triple 2.5 Drag powered 30 Spectre the MDR Poker Run year before last.
AND he kicked Andreas Ugland's (remember him?) a$$ in the calmer water in a SeaTek powered Buzzi race hull!
How's that for an old home built Formula 272.
BTW: he beat me up a couple of times too, but I'm gonna get him back one of these days!

I changed my tab indicator cables 2 years ago and they read about 2 numbers off as compared to before. # 5 used to start + trim now it's not till #7. This means when I was running #6 last year I was barely 0 trim much less any + trim. :(
