no Twin step in '99 , I had the same boat '99 Single Step with 500HP's that were rebuilt making low 600's on they dyno 85 MPH best... (with -2 lowers) & Bravo 30's labbed I would think you should have a high 80's MPH boat IMHO, search the fountain section, there are many variations & HP combo's done on this exact hull... good luck

If I had not run out of lake the boat would of run 75mph the way itt is. So I am hoping for more than 10 mph with the new props. I will be testing the props next week so I can update you. Not that it makes a difference but the motors were dynod at 1750da and I am almost at sea level so the hp should be a little more but not much.

Yesterday was a great day on the lake. There was about 7 fountains on the water ranging from 37ft lightnings to 27ft lightnings and a my buddy's 27ft 1300hp blown intimidator cat! However i was able to play with the trim and was able to run a solid 75.4mph!
Can't wait for the 30pitch 4 blades to get here this week. I will be happy with 90 something mph. I have some plans for this winter to get me over the 100mph mark!!! I will do a vid of it running this week for you guys!

That is exactly hat my wife had said. Get the correct props and lets enjoy the boat.
However I am a speed junky and I love HP! I guess we all are in a since. The boat is getting dropped off in the middle of October to get painted as well. All in all I will end up leaving it alone for a little while.

The new 30pitch 4bladeprops arrived today from BBLades! Cant wait till the weekend t try them out! If theboat will run in the 90"s I will be happy. I understand now that 100mh will be reaching a lttle high at this point with my curent HP.
