the boat ran 71mph when it had 525's. Its around 60 now with 496's. It took along time, but it handles decent as well with minimal roll. The inside of it is nice, but I do agree that the outside does look pretty ugly tho.......

That sure does seem like a small engine package for such a big boat.
Does anyone know what the biggest engine package Black Thunder has ever put in one of their 46's is?
Have they done any with 1075's & 6's, or bigger? Whatever the biggest is that someone posts, how did it run?

Interesting......how much does it weigh? My 45 Apache (LOA 48 feet) has triple 502MAG and can manage 60MPH with the right water. I can get it to plane with two though (had to do this more than once..........urgh!).

What are those motors, 415hp if I remember correctly? Surely you can bump that up w/o using blowers?
It's nice to have trips in a boat that big when one goes down. I have personal experience...
