Re: 242 LS Hull 75+ mph Possable
More like a 10 hour tow!!
We were there early August 2006 and had a blast. My parents live on their Nordic Tug up there during the summer. I was playing with my image software, that's why the Casino is blurry... Here are a few other pics... Would like to have seen your 353 out there. From the other thread it sure sounds like you have it running good!
First is at East Harbor beach. Dad's Nordic Tug, brothers 21 Formula, my 292. Second pic is at Bay Point beach.

In search of +70
what prop you using. My buddies 509 dynoed 535 hp and he's running a labbed 24 Bravo at 5400 rpms with 2 peeps and a full tank. Of couse he tried it with three people and an empty tank and this happened. A two stage tow
The sail boat got us to within 100 feet of the dock but neede 5 feet of water so we got another tow the last 100 feet

I was going to upgrade the steering and put k planes , but then decided to sell the boat. i now have 06 292.

Were you guys dialed-in on the a/f ratio (~12.6-12.8) with the 850? I have an older HP500 (542 ci) so I think running the right prop and dialing-in an 850cfm carb should be worth sonmething. Time will tell; unfortunetly I don't have a dyno so I have to judge my results by top speed and rpm. In the meantime, I'm content with 69.9 mph gps. Even with 3 people and 1/2 tank full I can still run+68. Thanks.
