Got a 88 12 meter with 540's making 980 horse each. Had #3's with 1.68 ratio, 3 blade 28 inch props, went 95mph. Upgraded to #5's with 27 inch 4 blades, 1.50 ratio, and goes no faster. Can't seem to brake this barrier. Wondering if anyone else has.

Yup, I'd bet the bank on that. LOL Show em how it's done Reggie.

I've got a 1989 . I'm putting 540 blower motors in it. I put Konrad's on the back 1.50. Motors will be dino @ 5700 hopefully 850 hp, 5 blade hydro 29 pitch props. I'm thinking I need to blue print the bottom. What speed do you think I'll get ???
