Coolest freaking set up for a sbc boat. Imagine that insurance sees it as a performance cruiser and it was still faster than most stock 27-29 fountains of the same vintage!!! I think that year was still a square windshield too, it had a cockpit like a fishing boat. You could put yourself a buddy and 6 girls on one without any problems

OK, this strikes me as odd. The 311 sheet and the 303 sheet are both Sr1's and both have twin 454 mags bravo's (365hp).
The 311 is 3" narrower but 150 lbs heavier and 2' 9" longer with the swim platform.
I would have thought the 303 would have gotten better "milage", but the numbers posted by formula do not show that. Best for the 311 is 2.1 mpg at 28 mph at 2500 rpm. The 303 was only 1.7 mpg.
The 311 was faster and more fuel efficient than a boat almost 3' shorter? Did they just screw that boat up?

Grab the report that shows the data for the 303 with blackhawks. I think that will really surprise you. The 303 has a LOT of rocker in the hull so when it comes to shorter/surface piercing drives with the stock motors you should see a bit of improvement. Come to think of it anyone have anything on the the 302 402 kaama reports or the 303 blackhawk data?

I just picked up an 86 F302 SR1. Getting all dialed in at Wilkes Marine in Orange County, CA. Can't wait to get it out on the water. Any performance info on the 302? Stock 454, TRS and 3 blade 24 pitch that I will probably change to 4 blade.
