had it out for the first "long" trip. Got 60.4 on GPS with two people, three cases of beer, and 4/5 tank of fuel!

What kind of power , To me it seams a little on the slow side if 502s or 454s , what kind of props .

420 mercs and 24 p Bravo I props. They were stroked to 489 and dyno'ed at 500hp.

going to do some more playing with the trim and tabs.

Please ! Keep us informed,

A 420 trs boat should run 62. I bet there is a good 4-5 mph you should be able to get out of Her.

1986 357 kaama boat ran 67.4 with original 420s. in fresh water. FYI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

420's TRS with 23 mirage...5200 rpm= 58MPH

420's TRS with 24 Hydros 4blade 5000 rpm= 62MPH

525 SC Clones with Bravo Conversion and higher drives was converted from TRS, Bravo 1 26 pitch 4900RPM = 70.3

525 SC Same as above with Mirage plus 25's 5200=72.5

Bravo 1 26's have the best overall performance, Cruise is awsome 3200rpm 45mph, great accelleration best fuel for long trips

Where have you been hiding out Joe i have not taked to ya in a while. Give a ring if you get a chance 616-450-0261 Jeremy

I was able to get 72GPS at 4800rpm last time I was out. Supercharged Pinnagazzi Engines with 26 pitch Hydromotive quad 4s.

Blew an oil hose (at least that is what i hopw it is) this weekend on the way to a party 26 miles up river. Didn't get a chance to play any more. Limped back on one motor.

Now I have to find which hose and replace it. May replace all of them on both motors??? Don't think I did any internal damage - shut it off before the alarm even came on. I'll know more this week.
