Agreed, but that was when sport cats were mostly 30' or less.

It is the boat displayed in Miami repowered with 450R outboards.

I believe I read that they gained 10mph going from 400's to 450's.

1 MPH per 10 HP

Makes sense, Mercury was always pretty fair at producing what they stated.

The actual INCREASE is 1mph per 30hp. 6x400=2400hp vs 6x450=2700hp

HOWEVER, the actual hp/mph plane stays pretty consistent at 1mph per 33hp,

2700hp/81mph=33hp

But who is really counting all of this. LMAO

I smell Justin Whipple, and maybe a few others, foaming at the mouth to have a programming and pulley upgrade.
