so let me get this straight, the boat is a 05, you bought the boat in 06 bone stock and ran perfect. You put whipples on and had Crockett rebuild (multiple times) and only a few hours on each build?? each time?? and they keep blowing/melting/exploding/burning???
I may be wrong, but whipples are whipples, they force air. You PAID to have the engines (mulitple times) built to be blower fed, but only get 6 minutes of run time after 5-6-7-10 months of waiting for motors to be built... "you pay to play" but not "pay to pay and pay and pay"
People trailer all over the place to go on poker runs etc, and run their boats balls to the wall for miles, minutes, hours upon end and have zero problems (relatively speaking). You guys can't get out of the no wake zone...

I could care less if my engine builder built me a motor that dyno'd ONCE and then blew up as soon as it got in the boat...and then rebuilt, reinstalled...to see that the other motor won't run longer than 15 minutes...?

An ECM was bought and replaced for the STBD just because there was basically nothing showing why the motors kept blowing up all these years. So after years, you guys yourself decide to buy a ECM on a whim for "insurance"...Then all of a sudden builder/tuner can tell the other one needs replaced after 15 minutes of run time? Did he get new tuning software that shows if an ECM went bad? What is the deal there??? Doesn't make sense...at least to me...at all...

300s....I wish i cld argue w ur logic....but i cant. The truth of the matter is that in the last 4 yrs the boat has spent more time in Michigan or on the trailer than in the water. Things keep popping up that i am told that i need....after the fact. It wld be nice to of been told that we need these things prior to things always going to $hit. All in all this has been a very negative experience. I know Tyler is trying And im sure he is very frustrated too...but this needs to stop..and i need to get my boat back...and be able to confidently drive it for more than a half of a season without it blowing up again.

Did Reggie invent the excaliber hull ? or did he invent the step bottom ?

Just to clarify...R3 and the entire crew at Real Fast has done an impecible job. Their work and attention to detail is the best i have seen in the industry. Lil R has communicated w me the entire build. I just need Tyler to work all these "bugs" out so we can move on. Again..thanks to Lil R and the guys at RF. U rock!

Wow, TRL, you are learning why I took the car engines out, and I'm going to bolt outboards on the back.

Eventually. Right now, I'm having so much fun on the weekends without spending a mortgage payment at the pump.

I dont believe Reggie would lay claim to "inventing" the stepped hull. But I do believe one can safely state that he was a forerunner in the Stepped Hull design, and the associated performance, as it stands today. Stepped hulls have been around for eons..Reggie just put the finishing touches on them...and made them FAST FAST FAST...LOL.

Once the motors are running, which I doubt out of TC your going to have all kinds of $hit with the IMCO's...
$40K and I'll even wipe the footprint off the stbd motor.

Throw in a pair of #6's and Tranny and you got a deal....

Even better...trade it in for this beast.

There you have it! The reason these boats still draw the big dollar. Stock power with hot rod performance, any time, every time. They run, run hard, don't break, then they go out and do it again.
