Expect the fastest 1075 MTI in history. Great work Reggie. Randy Scism should put you on the payroll

When a boat is set up properly "dialed in" your motors last longer, you get better fuel economy, faster and better ride, and safer too. Think about it and you will see how it's money well spent that over time will save you money. Want the best and done right? Take my word for it, send it to Real Fast Marine, I have 2 times so far, and both times they were untouchable. Reggie has talent.
no doubt the boat is fast,but with all due respect,imo,there are none better at setting one up than dave scott and j tomlinson,i am looking forward to seing this boat run.

Johnny had a rudder and shafts not 6's wrong setup.

This was a surface drive & rudder boat. We removed that whole setup, cut the bustle & put mercury 6 drives on it.

Im not sure how fast it was with the 1550 sterlings & the shaft drives. I know with the 1200 mercs & 6 drives its a 200 mph boat.

Ok, I like the parts about safety and motors lasting longer. I don't really care about going faster than the boat is going to go already.

So about how much for me to make Recovery "safer" for my wife?

a)$5-10,000
b)about $25,000
c)over $40,000

I could do "a". Would consider "b". I would just be a hell no on "c"

It will never run 200 in the shoot out with less than 1700 per side or more
