100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

It might go 100. The motors should make 750 easy.

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

Some more.

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

Good luck with your attempt at 100 mph. Let us know how that goes. I won't have quite that much hp - but somewhere close. Are you doing anything special with your drives?

Good Luck, you will be close. Are those Whipples on stock 500's or did you do some work to them? Had a set of Whippled 500's in a 35 Lightning. It ran 100 once, 95-98 a bunch. Went back and built a set of 540's then I had no problem reaching over the century mark. What ever speed you are running now add 10-12 mph with the Whipples. If the motors are stock.

At 750 you should be there talk to Mav35 He is around 110 in a 1997 35.
Jonas has a twin step and is running 100+ also.

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

Beak Boater - I see you had 540's. Where these NA? What hp were you turning? What drives did you go with? Thanks.

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

Lightning or Executioner?

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

540's where Whippled, AFR Heads, Crane 731 cam. Started with Bravo's bought a pair of IMCO SC's. Both IMCO's had problems around 40 hrs. Rebuilt them both and got over 100 hrs on them. They were standard length not shorties. If I did it again, I think I would go Mercury xr. No warranty on IMCO's plus they are in Calif. If you have a problem and you want them to work on them you have to send them back to them. They are begining to have a small dealer network you should check with IMCO and find out if someone in your area deals with them. At least with Mercury you do have some warranty. Good luck..If you have any questions, I went down this road before I will try to answer them.

Lightning. It is a 02'. Will take more pics today.

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

My buddies 95 Single step ran a touch over a hundred with 572 800's
.....

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

We were going to take the blocks out of the tabs but the customer said the boat would scare the hell out of him without them.

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

U should be there. the 35's can be a hand-full at 100+ so take a step at a time.

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

Thanks for the tips!

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

Pics!!!!

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

Will it go a 100?...Only if Saris Racing does the upgrade! :cool:
I say 100+ with some labbed wheels.

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

Thanks Mark! :D Here are some pics!

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

it should run good,
have the bottom rockered like the utz boat, was done to mine and its great at speed,. but take it easy at first,
700 hp 575's mine has seen 106+

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

????

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

yea, what he asked?????????????

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

basically blueprint but from what the gal at fountain i cant remember her name now said they put a litte rocker in it, i was told setlled it down a bunch at speed,.
sh said they did that to the bottoms of the race boats utz etc.
i am sure if you call fountain they can tell u exactly instead of bumbling around llike me. : )
i dont know exactly what they did but the boat handles sweet and runs goood,,, :D

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

jonas - was this something that was done after you had the boat was made? I'm just curious - who can do this type of work? I would imagine that it had to be a shop that blueprints on a regular basis?

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

yes previous owner had done.
he had fountain do it. from what i understand and was told he was pretty tight with the factory, they tried everything,.
2 in short drives 1 in etc etc,,
its nice to buy somnethng done and not have to spend that crazy money...
he was really the pioneer to getting big speed out of the 35's, he did all the stuff.. i could not think of one thing i would or could do to this boat to make it better other than pony up for some herring props..

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

Interesting, have any bottom pictures you want to share with us? :D

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

sorry couldnt resist looked like the best bottm pic i had, :D


if you really want i can take some pics when it comes out of winter storage warehouse and goes back on hoist..
that will be about 3 weeks from now.

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

Nice bottom Jonas. You're right, it does have a little rocker to it! I think that could hit a hundi' with the right power behind it. :evilb:

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

I don't mean to be picky, but that looks like an Executioner Bottom to me :D

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

Nah, that a Twin Step! :drink:

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

THink that will go 100 un right conditions? :D

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

That will work! But in the mean time, between now and the three weeks, more bottom pictures please. :D

Re: 100 in a 35 (maybe)
 

It's the bendover with twin bottom plug.
