Jonas-
Sounds awsome. Let me know what you get out of her. I was told when i bought the 38 that it would run w/in a couple mph of a 35 if it was staggered so i think i should for sure be over 100 w/ my setup being that your 35 runs 106. Do you know what kind of hp those motors that are in your 35 make?? just curious if it was much more that what mine are doing.

i believe the hp is right around 690 ea,,
bill (gatorone)would know for sure,,
the dealer i got it from didnt include the props i thought i was getting a set of labbed 36 bravo's i am prob going to buy em from him anyway,
i just sent a check for the herring s that bill ran on the boat to get the big number thought might be fun on a poker run here and there,
i would think that your boat would be over cent mark,, i know from taking to gatorone that he seeemed to have tried all the combos
i took some notes one day talking to him and i believe that the 5 blade hydros on it will run high 90's
bravo 4 blades just over 100
and herrings 106.
also i dont know if this makes a diff but bill also had the bottom blueprinted.
this boat should finally hit the water today i hope!! i hope this is the last thing, i want to go out its a nice day..the drive should be back here in an hour of so.
also it seems to run super rich so i had msd's installed hope that cleans it up a little.

the local shop seatons good man chuck removed the drive that was bad and gator marine rebuilt and did his magic this guy can turna lump of coal into a diamond,,,
thats the kind of service thats worth gold!!!!!!! thanks.
i do need to do something about the rich condition though its bad, puks black smoke and loads up just getting in and out back and forth to the house,,
not a big deal i suppose other than i would like to not have to clear it out all the time as it really loads up bad,

i don't know if i'd trust the dyno reports on your engines. derebery did a dyno run on my engine after he rebuilt it. the dyno run was OK, not great. most stock hp 500's have better dyno runs than my rebuilt / slightly modded hp 500 by derebery. the boat did not perform as well after the rebuild. my boat was slower with the rebuilt engine. just something to consider.
