Nice. Who did your work? Do you still have the stock parts? New props yet?

Work was done by a local engine builder out of Southern Md. His name is Jay Taylor. 301-375-9339. He has alot of experience with BBC motors. Yes I still have all the stock parts. After getting everything dialed in, idle, fuel pressure, ect. Full tanks of gas and 4 people, the boat ran 98 mph on gps, before one drive let go. I was running 36 pitch Bravo 1's at 5400 rpm, and still pulling hard. Very high slip numbers because of stock gearcase without nosecone, and boat was still accelerating. Not sure how fast it would have run. Revlimiter is set a 5500. Can you say gear change? Anyone looking for a pair of 36 Bravo 1's with about 10 minutes on them? Dream Boater you will be mowing alot more grass now, got to pay for those drives somehow!!!

Beak Boater, What are you thinking of ordering as far as drives. Have yet to read any info about the xr drives but read a lot about the imco extremes.

Hey Beak Boater, very nice set up, I like the way it looks also, very cool. I bet you get 103 plus with a 1/2 tank of gas once you get her dialed in, good luck. Hey check those Imco Extreme SC drives, Im putting them on my Thunder, they will handle that hp as well as the torque. Total Marine and Performance is where I got mine, talk with Eddie or Stephen 1-985-649-9888 They also clear coat the bottom 4 times for extra protection, no charge. Take care
