I looked for you too back a few weeks ago...never did find it but I know it's here somewhere!!

I remember the article said that one of the Porter's was gonna keep and run the test boat, it was #1 w/525SC's

congrats...beautiful boat :D

what props are you running? let me know some numbers as I am going to start prop testing next week.

I am still running stock 3blade mirage 23s. I get about 5300rpm/ 80mph with 1.50 bravo 1x's

so
tweakinit

did you buy your boat out of tennesee? if not, then you are
4th of 5 525sc's

1 mine
2 havasu
3 tennessee
4 tweakinit??
5 ??

I have 24 pitch bravos with 1.36 ratio drives

on my maiden voyage last night I
hit 72 last night at 5000 for a short blast. sticky fresh water and 1/2 tank. the prev owner had the props labbed ( by mercury racing) but said it didn't help. ( maybe they ptiched down a ltitle?) .
it cruises (out of teh 4 barrels) at 50 mph at 3200-3400

Once i get used to this thing. i might look into relabbing them for a little more pitch. we'll see. But I am very happy as is.

thing rides so smooth, planes off easier than my 272. spins the props out a touch at 2500rpm and then hooks up ( kinda like surface drives) with very little bow rise. I like it

rides VERY level too. the bow is really low. and the k planes can bury the bow in a heartbeat if needed.

yes MASI, it's time for a new video. just need to decide on the background music. will it be Motley crue again, or nickelback this time:D

I stand corrected.
I looked at a couple post of yours and see you are at 565 Hp each. so the 80mph makes sence now:D

COOL!!

are the 525's original in your boat, or installed at a later date?
some color differences in the engines compared to mine

and are you really selling it?
