And one day cruising along at 50 mph you will explode a drive. 35 should get more life than the 38, but eventually it will fail.
Pull apart and inspect every winter, fix whats worn, hope for the best..

A 353 will be faster than that. The factory 382 Poker run boat is in the high 90's wil 700's.

The big issue is that you WILL need drives, so you have to decide if it's worth sinking LOTS of money into you boat.

Right!

I also agree a complete repower with engines and drives is nuts, way too much to spend in this market....Lake Effect did sweet this year with XR's still in one piece!

The Poker Run Boat 382 with Kevlar Upgrade usually runs about
93 -94 MPH

It was tested by Powerboat Magazine and Poker Runs America

i do understand the need for speed, i have a 2006 353 with 496HO's, this past weekend is the first time i pushed my boat, now keep in mind it does have factory gen,air,tv,ect., full tank of fuel, two 190lb guys, at 5100 rpm we hit 75.7 mph on gps. Im not trying to take anything away from the 525's, but Dam..

I've got a good friend that had a 2001 353 with HOs that lived on LOTO for 6 years. He never got close to 75 MPH, no gen or air, and even with a light load of fuel he could normally get 72, maybe 73 max on GPS. Speedo would read 75 or 76. So you have some awesome running HOs in your boat. Good deal for you!:drink:

Congrats.

In 2001 the X Dimension might have been different and I am not sure if props already have been lab finished
The 2006 boat with 496 HO came with lab finished Bravo 1 props

This might explain 2-3 MPH Difference

Mentalpause 10-23-2009 05:19 PM
His were 30P 4blade Bravo 1 props - no lab finish. He ordered the boat with 502s and that was just when they were changing over from that block to the 496, so they put an HO in it for the price of the 502. So it could be they didn't have that set up totally dialed in yet and like you said, maybe made some changes like X dimension over the next few years.
