600hp = 78 to 82 mph, maybe 85 if you leave everything including enough gas to get back, on the beach

785 hp NA no juice. Bravo XR, Stellings box, 385 tabs

That thing is a handful. Hasn't rolled it but it took a severe hook once, cant remember the exact story, he and his girl went to the hospital she had minor head injurys, he had broken ribs, I think he flew out of the boat and took the throttle stick along with him.

He still runs the boat.

Jim V. builds cylinder heads for a living.

I'll give you a run come to the Blackjack Poker Run I had a great time last year with my Powerplay. I just had my motors built this winter from Jc Performance. I want to see what a 28 Powerplay will run with 900 hp

I knew this thread would take off as soon as I saw it.

I would take 3 feet off total length for a Fountain, not 4. So a 27 ft Fountain is realy a 24 foot running surface boat.
