Congrats Rex...
looks like a nice boat :)
I have the exact color scheme
with 525 SC's ( 1st of 5 for 1995)

Ramb

FYI
thinking of selling
want to move to a 40SS (with blue motors of course)
Ramb

No, 454s with everything else from the HP500, cam, carb, exhaust, etc.

I would like to see some pics of yours, looking for ideas on registration numbers, how to do the name, speakers, etc.
How do the 525 do, 75ish?

Hey Rex
just checked in and saw your reply here

my boat is coast guard documented, so I only have the Michigan state reg sticker (3" x 3")
this boat does 75mph at 5100 rpm. Labbed 25 pitch 4 blades ( with 1:36 drive ratio)
with newer higher pitched props, imco shorties, and 1.50 my local formula expert says she could hit 80.. He has a 382 kevlar layup with a custom thunderbird mural by Formula.... beautiful boat.

anyway. I need to put the pics on pohotobucket or something to post them here... otherwise PM me and I will email some to you.

Gonna agree with the Imco idea, I bet there 5 mph there on my 303, the few 303 blackhawk boats were a solid 80 mph boat, I'm at 74/75, and she loves trim,

Yup, at WOT with three blades I can trim it a lot as well. With the Rev 4s I get better bow lift but still have to trim to about 7 to get top speed. In a couple years I think some good aluminum heads and shorties would help a lot, I am sure these drives are really deep
