72 vevet drive
 

how much hp will they take, because i think i am pushing it with 700 and i am thinking of adding a 1071 blower...

Re: 72 vevet drive
 

you are pushing the limits if you plan on running the boat hard and will be in and out of the water....my 1000hp engines would fry the plates when racing and I even snapped a shaft.....again, that was racing; but if you are running it hard, plan on either upgrading or go crash box.....

good luck, your boat is awesome......my nephew, Mike, has a Sport which he is refurbishing as well

Send it to Mark at BAM while it is still in one piece. He will make it bulletproof.

Hmmm, Velvet Drive is rated for about 500hp. Not going to last long with that power.
