Still lots of testing needs to be done but that speed is not bad for the first day :D:D

Sounds good, hopefully you will get more after testing and damm you got a lot of horses under that hood. Best friend has the same boat, with 550hp(dynoed) and he even did hull work(sanded the end of the hull where baja put a little small hook in each side of the hull) and he only got 76mph.

Whoops, his is a 25, now considered a 27 because of the swim platform.

Mark you could be right a 25. I keep calling it a 26 footer but I think it is the 25.

What kind of power?

Audiofn 07-17-2002 11:49 PM

Never dynoes but it is a 454 Mag to start its life and had some head work, roller cam, and procharger put on. It is running 5 pounds in the intake for boost. The estimate was around 650 or so.

What kind of speeds do you think your hull is good for? You should be getting close.

Not my boat it is a friends. I would think he is going to be going a solid 80 by the time he gets it all tuned in.

Very cool !!!!!!!!!! My 92 21 foot baja has the same paint job. i have a 530ish 502 that i just installed gil exhaust on. So far my gps max was 74 . I have some new props to try and would love to report 80. But i think im over expecting. Beautiful boat dude !

That should be a interesting ride. Is he running a dual ram setup,swinging a 28P? Just wondering as I am running 72mph/gps 502/415 and from what I'm told a Whipple would put me in the scary zone.
