I don't know...:-( I was busy :-)
My scan/awareness is down while I work on my comfort level.
My wife said that I called out 77-78 MPH and I did have the drives "out"...my drive indicators say about 3-4 when the drives are (measured) flat to the boat bottom. I think I ran them out to about 7-8.
I'm not 100% sure of the rpms either...BUT I will get better/more precise with practice (more stick and throttle time).

That is fuggin moving in that big bird!

Gotta shout out to previous owners who maintained and modified her (Kevlar382, Dba1062, JP, and RD)
I like the simplicity of normally aspirated big blocks.

N.a. big blocks making awesome power to get that big bird up and flying. No lie, I am thoroughly impressed.

what do you have for horsepower and engine specs? Does that boat have bravos? I got a 311 thinking of possible future upgrades. Thanks

Blue 454s bored and stroked and full roller to 496... they are reported to be 500+ horsepower clones. Latham hydraulic steering,K280 trim plates, Bravo drive with cones and showers. 28 pitch, 4-blade Bravo props... and an understanding wife.

Excellent. Thank you.

You have to love it when everything find its way into line and the angels start singing. That cool dry air we had this week didn’t hurt. Perfect wind chop is also a difficult temptation to resist and my wife knows it well enough now to lean over and tell me, “I think you need to blow some of this stale gas out of this thing.” So I stop and toss the anchor of course.

:-)

Tom, she’s making a lot of power. I would say 575+ to get that out of her.
