Hi Guys I have a 25 checkmate with a 598ci making a little over 700 hp the boat is running in the 80s.
I just picked up a 29 fever with a stock 502. I am planning on swapping the motors and selling the checkmate, sorry for the long story but my question
is, I would like the Fever to run triple digits when Im done, Is anybody running that speed and how much hp does it take to do it. I plan on making change's
to the motor while its out. Want to make enough power to run those numbers. The boat is a 1997 29 fever. Thanks guys.

I think your gonna have to get somewhere between 900-1000hp to run those kind of speeds. 700HP in a 29fountain is probably good for mid to high 80's? Myabe 90's?

Thanks TGM I am hoping to build the new motor and get about 1000 to 1200 hp out of it. It will be super charged of course. I should just go thru the motor and freshen it up and be happy with high 80s.
But I probably wont that never ending need for speed.......

IMO, your in a true 27ft boat and looking to go 100+...that's crazy! I felt uneasy in my 32 with 500's going 85 in certain conditions. I'd get a 28 skater and call it a day if you want to go those speeds without breaking the bank

Did you say crazy?

I thought I read that the 29's don't handle very well at or above 80, am I wrong?

There's a local guy lenn shults with a 600+" BBC running in the mid 90's n/a

I guess I could live with mid 90s for a while anyway.

Good looking flat bottom! I've got the Jet version! Late 70's Wreight am I right?

72 sanger, always loved the rounded transom. In high school my metal shop teacher had one with a blown 426.
