I put labbed 30's on my Playboy and did not really pick up any speed. What I did get was much better acceleration. Mine would run 83 MPH on fresh water.

Hey Dreamer, sounds like things are working in your favor speedwise. Did you go synthetic too in engines and drives to reduce parasitic drag??

See ya!

oil is penzoil racing speced and supplied by the engine builder gellner engineering, so is the special oil filter... synth is all BS especially when u change oil every 10 hrs

I may be out there later this fall; so if I tell them to let Dreamer know the 'knob' is here I get a free drink?

FYI:

After all the synth research it's biggest benefit in boat enignes is it prevents dry start much better. A lot of wear occurs there. So keep it in the back of your mind as the main reason for potentially using it. The Mobil-1 20W-50 has been shown to reduce tepms. by as much as 50*F in an engine too. The ZDDP in it reduces wear and friction heat.

Dreamer:
You ever get those decals?

You should talk to Tres about your boat. I would think with that power, you should be hitting 85+.
Two words: Extension boxes.
