Re: 377 owners What are you running?
Shorty's old talon is a nice ride !!! Good luck with her.
I remember in the Miami boat show PR a couple years ago, we were running 90mph and Shorty passed us like we had an anchor out. Oh yea, he gave us the finger on the way bye

I don't' see a lot of activity on the 377 Talons..
We just re-powered our 03 Talon for the spring and are looking for prop choices.Last fall we were running a pair of tired Kieth Eickert 850s, in fact some of her holes leaked down @ 80 percent. With 1.24 ratio dry sump #6s we ran a best of 131mph gps @ 5800rpms with 17 1/2" x 34 p 4 blade Merc cleavers.
With fresh power the previous owner claimed 135gps ever day of the week and a best of 137 with his 5 blade 33p Herrings.
We have since re powered with 565ci 1000s with the same 1.24 drive ratio.
last fall we purchased a new set of Merc 17 1/2" 35p 5 blades
,which with the tired 850s were hard to pull past 4700rpms. What are you guy's running for props, power, pitch?
Does anyone have a similar combination? We are looking to pull hard up to 6000rpms @ 135mph or so, i'm not concerned with a big Top Speed!
