Nice! Makes you wonder what it would run without the de-tune job.

Thumbs up It's a VERY nice piece, very fast for 700's

The boat is in our showroom for first oil change and six drive break in service. It will be here until next Friday if anyone wants to stop by and see it. Ran 125 before bump stops put in, runs 117 full of fuel and people.

Jeez. I hope that it isn't the guys first boat. That thing has to be loose at those speeds.

How does it handle?

Thumbs up 35 700 Boat

The boat runs great at 117, after that, you need to be on the wheel.

Great boat, he loves it

I was going to guess that it was something they put on the throttle cable to keep it from going WOT. You really wouldn't want to change to actuall tuning profile in the engine and make it run any different than it came from the factory in order to avoid any warranty issues.

That is my best guess. Am I close?? Do I win the free popcorn?
