I'm sure there is more on on the table. i should easily bust 100 with some 32s'. As far as paint, I prefer the all white ,but painting the windshield area black give will the Talon/ Hustler a sleek look. Enjoy.

Bob,
Thanks for the offer, be interesting to see how my Talon reponds to the vented Bravos 1. I have a set of Bravo1 32" labbed by BBlades that I run on the 388, but I think it would be too big. I also have a pair of Maximus 32" labbed by Cutting edge for the 388, and that would definitly be too big. I wish there were more Hi-Perf. boaters on my area that I might be able to borrow a Bravo1 30" lab prop from...

Thanks, I've got about 20 hours on her now, and she runs great, handles 2 foot chop really well for a 25' boat, and engine is just a beast!

I ran 90.7 mph with the Ron Hill Bravo copies the other weekend. I am going to have the diffuser rigs cut off of them and see how she likes it. My clevers will be back from BBlades soon then hopefully 100 mph! Enjoy Dean!

BBob,
I'm really interested in your diffuser rings deletes to see how it affects your boat.
Thanks,
Dean

id love to snag me a 25 talon with no power and build my own power for it, they really are awesome boats. I had the privilege to drive mercs test talon in the BH program years back and I fell in instant love with the boat. awesome boat.
