Bruce, they always run best right before they blow......

You are gonna need atleast 500 hp and 550 ft lbs tq to hit 70gps. Several ways to go about that, sounds like KAAMA has the bases covered there, just be sure you are over those 500/550 numbers, you will need atleast that kind of power. Shoot for about 525/575 and you should be at the 71-72 mark with the right prop. Remember, it's all about the tq. Have fun!!

Default Engines on ebay.

You get what you pay for.

We did a complete re-rig on a 1989 240 sport. We built a 555c.i./650HP naturally aspirated engine, added an extension box, and a 2" shortie. With a 28P bravo, the boat ran 86. The box made a world of difference. The boat has about 80 flawless hours on it, and is now for sale. We are rigging a new Firehawk cat for the owner.

Any questions, email me [email protected]

Steve, those are pretty impressive numbers. Good to know about the extension box. Maybe i will put my Baja back together just for giggles.

I remember a 24' Baja back in the early 90's that was involved in a few of the Pier 33 Marina Poker Runs in St. Joseph, Michigan that was painted like a mean shark. I remember it as having BIG power in it. Anyone of you guys possibly know of which one I am talking about?
