Just got back from the lake and an awesome weekend of trouble free boating!!!! We didnt run it to hard as it was very hot and we are still a little timid given our history. However, we made a couple 110-117 MPH passes along with several effortless 100-108 short bursts....it was AWESOME! The boat cruises @ 75 like nothing. Although it takes a little finesse to get it up on plane (we requested it be rigged for top end) once it breaks over...hang on! The boat honestly accelerates the same from 70-80 as it does from 100-110. Eddie told us that we have on average 1000 ft/lbs available between 3500-6000 at all times...and you can really feel it.
R3 is going to send us some 1/2" spacers and we are going to try them and see how the boat likes them. R3 has been texting me all weekend asking how we like the boat...awesome customer service (he said he could of got 2-3 more MPH out of it with another day of tuning). And, I only called Eddie about 27 times on Sat and Sunday with questions...and he answered the phone every single time. Gavin and I are just astounded....as we are just not used to this level of service. BTW...I have a cell phone video of the run Sr made from 100-122mph. I will post it tomorrow....its pretty sick. I will now drink.....:evilb: |
Congratulations. Hope you have a great summer of boating.

Its alittle tuff to get on plane. The 1/2 in spacers will help it get on plane better & give it alittle more water pressure.

Call as much as you want. I would much rather you call with a question than call with a problem because you didn't know something. Eddie |

I'm glad your happy Eric & had a trouble free weekend of boating. It was a pleasure to work with you,your brother & Eddie young. And to know there's another 15 MPH left is awesome. 125 is really impressive & to know its capable of 140 is something nice to look forward to.

What power will it take to make 140 mph, with all of the factory data you have with many years of experience in set-up and setting Vee Bottom Speed Records?
Eddie built the motors to handle the addition of 4L if we ever elected to go that way. A blower swap and bigger injectors should be good for 1200+HP...(please step in here if I mispoke Eddie.) FPM has already blueprinted the hull, so the addition of 6 Drives would be the only thing left to do. The SCX's are great..but they are like Anvils under the water. We had Wilson Performance blueprint the lowers, and they are much better...but they are still not nearly as fast as a #6. |

It was just a little slow gettting on plane without the spacer. It's not terrible, but it won't win any drag races. With a one inch spacer it jumped out the water like an STV, but it cost about 3-4 mph on the top end. The 1/2" should be a happy medium.
Eddie However, if we lose to much on the big end we may go back to no spacer at all. By the end of the weekend Gavin and I were breaking it over on plane A LOT quicker. Water pressure is the main issue we want to keep in check....so says Eddie....:lolhit: |
