Yeah they are junk. All three of my motors dyno'd within 8 hp of each other, run flawlessly, idle like stockers, and pull like a freight train.

With your results that you posted nothing. Great numbers for reliable power. Just listen/monitor your motors. If something doesn't feel right or read right take notice. I had a failing fuel injector. She warned me then windowed the block as I pulled up to the dock. Not a big deal with 2.5 liter fishing motors. Rock on!!

Nitrous Oxide and race gas if you are just out to make a point!

I hope it pulls with 3 motors and 2000hp and ski boat cams.
My 900hp Blower motors idle at 650 in gear and purr like kittens so...

lab those props so they are paper thin, hit the last 6 feet of the running surface with 80 grit if you want to get nuts, it'll reduce friction. make sure your lowers are perfectly straight, check your tie bar, should have 1/8 in. toe in. if you have low water pickups on the transom, make sure they dont hang below the bottom of the hull. there was a product out years ago called speed coat. they use to sell it in the back of powerboat magazine. i actually installed it on a 26 foot donzi with stock power and he gained 2+ mph on the gps. just wipe down bottom and spray on, dip in water, pull out, let cure and walla lol good luck

Ok we get it, you don't like Bob. What's a ski boat cam? You know what I have? Are you always a dick?

I don't know of many Diesels that spin up to 6500 rpm.
