I personally saw 135 w/ the original Bravo setup but the GPS had 137 recorded on it so it's been at least that fast. Today I'm seeing 135 w/ the new ILMOR Indy Drives & Trans w/ a pr of 5 blade 37 Herings. We ran 120-125 most of the way to Key West last Nov. very comfortably.

Not too shabby given the static & rotating weight I gained w/ drive upgrade.

I'm positive one could see 140 w/ some bigger wheels but thats not how I boat so it's geared & propped for all around boating & acceleration. Gets on plane w/ ease, no need to tuck in the drives or lower the tab full of fuel w/ 4-5 on board.

If I could get my hands on a set of bigger props I'd see what it could do but no one local to me has a set.

Thanks Artie, it's been a challenging but great project. It appears that someone else will benefit from the collaborative efforts!

I'm sure I can find a new project!
