Great power from a great engine builder, but wow is that ugly...

A little chrome plating will help with that...

I wonder what kinds of top-end speeds should be expected with the 1700s in a 388...?... Didnt Chip Romer go 186 in his 388 with just 1500s at LOTO last year?...

Now that is funny "just 1500's".

You know what I mean't.... Seriously, we all know 1500+ is amazing... That wasn't my point...thanku! What I mean't was, If a 388 will run 186 w/1500+ HP, I wonder what we can expect with 1700+ HP...

That was in a mile, I'm sure his boat goes well into the 190's. I believe his GPS showed 19? at the shootout.

Remember, Pyburn went 186 with 1350's.

1700 should be 205ish.

Wow, unreal speeds in an open-cockpit 38 footer.... I'm already nervous thinking about it.... If it was my boat, I'd just let Johnny T. or Bob Teague test it out...they are the best!!!!! LOL...:drink:

1500's on paper should hit 200, 1700's should be over 210. if someone will push it that far
