Cool! Thanks 4 Bus!

I imagine your Boat must run close to 100? Sounds like an awesome ride!

Thanks.....but no. Has broke 90 a few times in stock form. I am upgrading the engines this winter but we are only talking another 5 mph maybe.

I have a friend with the same boat that runs 102 on cool days. He is semi stag, chilled, upped boost, -2 shorty, and 6 blade herrings.

The cheapest way to make one go 100, Bring it to Reggie,and only spend your money on things you need.

Without a doubt, the best deal on a 35 that will run 100 easily and reliably is the 07 at Legendary in Destin.

You will not have to trim the boat to the point of being loose to get up to and maintain 100 mph cruise, and the driveline will cause you no heartache.

A full staggered 35 with #6's is one of the ultimate boats to hurt some feelings and bruise some egos with.

I agree.....this is why I stay away when your boat is in motion :lolhit:

I thought "holy cow" was the only #6 full stag 35?

You are not kidding! I bet that thing is crazy with 700's in it, :eekdrop:

Mid 90's is still DAMN fast, well, at least for a "regular" guy like me, I know some of the stuff guys have on here is downright terrifying fast, but, I am sure you hold your own, and THEN some [-:

I have read several articles over the last little while from guys praising Reggie for helping them pick up A LOT of speed, the guy definately knows his way around a boat!

Thanks! I checked it out, KILLER boat, but, 162K is a chunk more than I can spend, although I am sure its worth every penny, and then some. I noticed they had a couple of 500/525 boats for sale as well, for a pretty decent price too, Thanks for the input! I had really been looking for a nice 35ZR, but, its looking more and more like my next boat will be a Fountain

Thanks again!
Michael

This was dealer converted by Legendary from a 525/XR boat to the 700/#6. Similar specs to mine, the way it is set up to run 115 leaves room for some more speed from that power.

Sounds like you are making some nice upgrades (too):bunnydance:.........
