I just picked up an 86 10 meter in great shape without power I feel was dirt cheap and was planning on dropping in a pair of 500-525hp carbed motors with TRS drives . What approx top speed should I expect from his hull ?

FOUNTAIN10METER

expect around 78 mph. I have a 88 10 Meter with 525hp and labbed props and run 80. I have the boat with Brian Forehand going to 800 hp with new drives. I have transmissions and complete trs drives with gimbles, everything you need for sale if interested. Eerything is perfect inspected by Brian and with him at this time.

Fountian 10 Meter thanks for the reply. On my 10 Meter I am running 25 pitch 4 blade hydromotives at 5600. GPS at 82 mph with cones also. I bought a pair of 26 hydro's and I am getting a little faster cruise speed but a slower top end. I was thinking about trying bravo's. That is why I was asking.
Have you tried other props?

Thanks again for the reply.

Hey, Fountain10meter, thanks for the reply thats what I was shooting for 75-80mph. You running 502's or 454's? Whats your cruising speed/rpm, approx fuel burn? You selling the 525hp motors?

...I cruise at 60 mph at 4,000 RPM, (on the primaries), with the same driveline...25" 4 Blade Hydromotives.

Thanks, bcfountain. Thats where I'm at right now, trying to decide between the 454's or the 502's. All the accessories are set up for a gen IV setup. What are you running in yours?
