last owner and marinia tech said they had ran 85 mph in it .ive had it to 75 without much work on trimming it.was wondering if its better to build the motors I have or just find another set.i love blowers...have a psi blown hemi now for race car...but don't want to cut the tanning pad for blowers.guess I just want it to run better than stock.also I think I may need to look at props.
im in va.motors running good alittle blowby.want to step up and try to run around 100mph with it.ill be posting later a question on whats it gonna take to run like that with this size boat.im coming from high hp drag cars im new to most of this ....its my frist boat...lol
When you are really ready,m there will be plenty of us to help you spend as much money as possible. LOL.
BTW: Congrats ! Welcome to boating !

sb your right ,last race car wasn't my frist but if I learned anything with the race cars was buy what you want or can afford,dont waste money,motors NEED to be freshened,why waste money on stock stuff?if I wanted to just get off the dock I guess I could have bought a pontoon...lol...I know what your saying they can and are dangerous.

SB is right on, get the boat up to par first, then maybe do some poker runs and see what works/could work for you. You might decide to upgrade the whole boat to get where you want to go. Custom build, custom problems might leave you wrenching more than getting some time under your butt. Once your dialed in it will be easier to plan out a build, etc.

Give me a call if you would like, have a couple options you maybe interested in as far as pulling motors and doing a refresh.....650hrs in a powerboat is no joke!!!lmao I also know where 2 NA 572's are for pretty reasonable, 13-15hrs on them. Its always cheaper to fix them while they are still running
