Had my P5's Labbed finished by Hydromotive and this past weekend with 3/4 fuel and another person on board I hit 82.3 mph/ GPS! (5'100 rpm's)
I was truly amazed! It was 68 degrees with 2'-3' chop on Lake Erie. Previous best was last year @ 79.8.

Kevin,we need more info. That boat has never run that fast and I've had lots of time in it as you know
What info did you give them and what exactly did they do?Was it Hydromotive or Throttle Up?Inquiring minds want to know.

Robert, Hydromotive did the work. Tom at Hydromotive was already familiar with the boat and knew exactly what to do with the props. When I picked them up he told me completely rebuilt the hubs and cupped the outer edge. He predicted a 2 mph gain in top end speed.
I do believe the weather conditions were darn near perfect for those blowers. I'm just curious how fast I would have gone with a 1/4 tank of gas. Unfortunately it started to rain. With a full tank of gas I was running about 81 mph.
