Powerquest 185xlt want to go faster
 

I have a 92 powerquest 185xlt. It has a 350 mag in it with alfa 1 drive. The engine and drive are all stock. I am looking to make it faster.What is the best bang for my buck? Thanks

hey bro you found the right place.

I have the same boat, but a 1989. I am building my 3rd motor for mine.

Stock with the 270hp was 58.3 mph.

Built a 383 ...

400-410 hp took it too 70.1 mph

same 383 just a few different parts...

around 500 hp took it too 75-76 mph

New setup I am building is a small block estimated around 570 hp.

Yes and all with the alpha drive that is still living :D

Here is a pic of the motor from last year.

Sounds like Traviss can help us both. I have the other 'thread' going related to small block cam selection.
I have a 19ft baron (only 150 made back in 78). I think powerquest stole the mold (very similar). Best mini offshore hull there is, only problem getting beat by little Donzi's - NO MORE

Traviss - What cam is in your motor (picture - verrrryyyy nice)?

last year I ran a crane hydraulic roller. 234/242 dur. .574/.595 on a 112 LSA 5500rpm max hp

The motor I am building now I just put in a crane solid roller 250/258 dur. .598/.598 lift on 112 LSA. 6000rpm max hp.

Hi guys, I wanted to let you all know that I have a Isky roller cam that I never ran that I would like to sell. I installed it and then plans changed so I removed it and now I do not need it. So of you know of anyone that could use it let me know. It measures 225/234 and .505/.530. Dwight
