Thanks Tyler Crockett & BBlades
 

I wanted to publicly thank Tyler and Brett for helping me break into the 90's which I did this past weekend with an outside temperature of 101 degrees and 450lbs of fuel. It's not a high dollar/flashy boat, but it's paid for and with a kid in college it has to work for now.

Tyler set me up with all the advice and parts over the last few years and everything has always performed as he said it would. Brett did the labbing of the props and after a recent adjustment I finally got the MPH I was looking for.

I realize that 91MPH might not seem too fast for most of you out there, but this is a heavy old boat and powered only by 454 Mags. I was running 88-89 for the last year, but could never break 90, but the prop work did the trick.

1989 Baja 280 Sport, complete Crockett upgrade kits with TBS 250's and 5lbs/boost. Have a nice day!

Now that's a sleeper! Tyler and BBlades also did a great job for me.

That is haulin in a 280. A friend of mine has one up here in Omaha and just put new mills in this year that are about 650hp N/A. I think he has a top speed in the same range as yours.

What, you tryin to say your boat's fast???? :D

Mines a sleeper too . You want some? :D

Right on. Lets face it, 90 on the water, in any boat, is cooking.





Darrell.

Congrats! How does it feel at 90?

TMAK,
What props, pitch and RPM are you turning.

Going to say the same thing! Especially if the exhaust is toned down. You can really ruin someones day with that rig. Sometimes 'not flashy' can be fun!:D

Mirage + 27" @ 5750RPM. The props checked out to be actually 28" before labbing and Brett worked them out a bit more to be 29.5". The old baja's seem to work best with a 3 blade, probably the low x dimension. The best thing about reaching 90 is I can finally stop trying. The worst thing is the wife yelling even louder to slow down.

Congrats! That is a big number in that boat! I would like to see some off the guys faces that you run by!!

nice congrats I was hitting 83.2gps in my 240 ol 88 with 670hp 26 4b with the help of a 2'' shortie:D until my stuff was stolen, well it will be back in the spring with new prop and some head work hope for 86 to 90 with 700hp. might even put a joker hull together in stead:D art
