Dano wanted to do a final shake down before we send it west. Blower motors must like chilly weather (45 degrees) With engine hatch open slightly,and lightly hitting the rev limiters, 29 Labbed Maximas ,87 GPS. Boat had been capable of low 80's in it's first 30 hours,guess a little break in and lower temps make some horsepower.

it's those temps for sure. Nice number.

Did you see the write up in powerboat mag....they claim 79.X is all they got. My buddies had a field day bustin my chops on that one!

(Until I sent them this!!!!)

Those PB guys probrably don't know how to trim a Fastech This boat has gen and air and had 1/2 fuel. But as I have said before,there is something about Smith Lake,Alabama water.

Doesn't the ECU allow for a little more boost after 20 hours? I thought that Merc built that into the program. I think I read that somewhere, but can't remember where. Just a thought! Cool numbers. Good to see that these Heavy and Luxurious Fastech’s can make some MPH!!

Looking at possibly getting this same setup within a few weeks. Didnt PB mag test a 382 with 525's and hit 79mph in 5 ft waves. They said it was def an 80mph boat in the right conditions. What are most people seeing with 600's?
