I loosened up the gauge and turned it 30degrees clockwise then tighten her back up. I picked up like 9 mph or so.

You gotta give him credit for trying to be a salesman. If somebody who doesn't know any better is looking for a boat he has all the right words written down.

ZT 230:
350 mag 300 hp - 58 gps (my previous rig)
6.2 - 320 hp - 61 gps
496HO - 425 hp - 72 gps anyday, Bravo one, 77 gps, all time best in -5 degrees, labbed 29 mirage plus (my previous rig after upgrade)
500 EFI, 470 - could possibly run 85, but she'd be VERY squirrely; likely high 70s anyday
She'd be a flying coffin at 100

Ill kiss this guys a$$ in front of Macy's window and give him 30min to draw a crowd if this thing does 100mph.

lol :lolhit:

He also has a short drive on it that may help his speed a little.

At the test drive, maybe he is counting on you getting in with GPS, the boat getting squirrely at 70-75 with some throttle left, and you chickening out on putting the hammer all the way down and holding it, till it tops out at 80-85. That way, he says it could do it, in the right conditions, and blames you and the weather for it not happening.

Do it take pics

Its a nice boat. Not as fast as he claims, but still nice. For north of 50k I could find a bigger /nicer/ faster single engine vee though.

Hey... Why are you guys being so mean to this poor guy!!! Triple Digits hit 100 MPH (with a 434 SBC making 637 hp and nitrous in a boat probably 300 lbs lighter), why cant this guy. He does live in NASSCAR land. Surprised he did not say that his engine was custom built and tuned by Petty Enterprises

:party-smiley-004:

100 mph ? not
 

I had a DCB 24' v bottom with built in swim platform,so it had a 22' actual step bottom and it had and good HP 500, but basically stock 470 HP with 2" imco shorty and ran a 30P and sometimes 28 lab bravo - 84mph at anytime and it was a good runner.
Enough said, you know how much more horsepower it would take to go 100mph.
Simple question real RPM and Pitch ?
Probably another 200HP ,it's impossible???

my 2 cents
