100 in a 35 (close today)
 

Well we ran the boat today. Just over 5000 with 34's. Not good only 92. Took forever to get on plane too. Some testing and fine tuning and it will be close! Motors make 725. With the whipples.

What year, what lowers?

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

hmm curious what boat?
what are you planing on spining the motors up to?
mine had to spin 5750 to get 106 with big 5 blade herrings. thats with 700 hp motors. blue printed bottom 2 in short sportmaster lowers with 1 in spacers so wuld get on plane better,
have fun
be carefull!!

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

He must have a 1.5 gear ratio to. Mine has a 1.36 with wipples.

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

stock xr lowers. 2004 35 lightning 725hp whipple motors WRONG PROPS!! Took 30 sec to get on plane. 50-80 4.2sec :evilb:

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

high 90's of now. :cool:

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

That should be a 105-107 mph boat...

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

Really?? We are spinning 34's to the 525 rev limiters now... :D

Hey Jonas,

Did you notice a difference when you had your hull blueprinted - or did you do it along with other modifications so you really couldn't tell? I was considering having mine done this winter.

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

i wish i could tell you, but i cant,, it was done when i got the boat,
but i do have a pretty good comparison due to my neighbor has exact same boat same yr, power etc but bone stock.
his is much squirlier,
at 75 ish his starts dancing :evilb: mine never did that like that,
i think due to the rocker they put in it takes a better set,
sorry this is all speculation,,
but in comparison my boat was just alot more stable and much faster,
wishi could be more help.

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

That helps. It must have been more stable for a reason. tks

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

Right about 98 the boat gets a 'hop" in it that the tabs wont help. It doesnt have a hook . We are trying noescones. Do you think thy will help? Motors are also detunned to about 670 HP now.

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

Are you still spinning the Bravo 34's? What rpms's?

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

You may want to give great consideration to the props. I would think you could achieve greater performance from different propellers. 34P Bravo I props will never be great getting on plane...just the nature of the prop.

We have tried BBlades worked props.:)

We are thinking nosecones?

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

Would 5 blades help?

Re: 100 in a 35 (close today)
 

If the drive height is condusive, yes 5B props may work very well on the 35's. The X is pretty high on most Fountains , particularly after 2001 and especially the 05-07 models.

Now as for nose cones if you are trimming beyond neutral and attaining speeds greater than 80 MPH then nosecones should produce positive results, theoretically.

I have a buddy with a 2001 35 lightening with 500's and whipples and inco sc's that runs at 102 at Lake Tahoe on very sticky water at 6000 ft. of elevation. At sea level he is over 108 and is rock solid. These are gps speeds not b.s. numbers. He is running Maxum 5 blades that have been tweaked by Brett at bblades. I can pm his number to you if you would like to discuss his set up. Marshall is a great guy who loves performance boats. This boat is for sale by the way. Stay safe at these speeds. Doug

They have spacers to help the boat get on plane.
