And the drive is deep.
O.K. The first time Grant ran the boat with a 26P 4 Blade he hit the rev limiter at 75 mph.
Second time out, Grant ran a 28P 4 Blade and hit the rev limiter again.......at 81 MPH !!!! At 3000 rpm she was running 42 mph and at 4000 rpm she ran 58-60.
I just sent a shorty drive down and we are going to run a 30P 4 Blade and will see speeds in the mid to high 80's !!!! We honsetly think the boat will run 85-88 mph. Not bad for a stock 496HO/XR that you can get a 5 year warranty on !!!
The boat is running unbelievable and wants to run faster. There you have the update. I have been trying to keep this in the last few weeks but it got leaked out a week or so ago. I'm picking the boat up next week and will finish dialing it in and then pic's, stat's, etc... will be posted. Dave

Re: New Hats are in !!!
I'm not trying to say your numbers are not correct, just trying to find the difference thats all. Thats a big increase over almost every other boat on the market with that kind of power set-up. Is the boat that much lighter?? Hull that much better??? 29 footer with that kind of speeds something has to give.
