The SeaDoo being passed at 45 seconds is running 70. We were running 4300 rpm (out of 6400) at that point. PhilM and I will be happy to show you around. :drink: PS - You may want to spell check "Instagator"... ;) |
I love big power singles that can surprise a twin!:evilb:
Sold my Donzi 26ZX this Fall. It had an 850 and was a runner. It was a great boat till 85 or so. It was still good after that as long as one did not encounter a side wake! :party-smiley-004: |
The ultimate shocker on Chesapeake Bay is currently a RIB tender for a large sportfish. Roughly 15' long, it sports a huge Mercury outboard complete with Sportmaster lower on a hydraulic jackplate. I asked the owner how fast it ran. His reponse was: "I don't know; it runs out of driver at 82..."

hmm looks like Eickert to me in the picts but teh description doesn't include an exhaust system
(maybe you mean lightning performance group/ Eickert) Lightning marine makes true header - I see a manifold. I cant see that the engine comes with that though. Depending on how its dynod and what he has he may not have 700 ponies to put against the prop. UD These are true headers. Pause the first video after he opens the hatch. Definitely appear to be Lightnings. |

UD I am thinking the same thing, 700 HP should turn a 28 bravo to full RPM on a 27 fountain no problem. |

I didnt play that video that far. Hmm Im spinning a 28 5900-6K. My rig is longer and heavier though so Im likely slipping more. UD |
