Run the Krypto flat and you will feel the difference, leave the drive level, maybe tucked in a bit and run some tab. It will fly level land soft.

Agreed, that is where I run it in fact i measured the drive and know exactly where it is parallel with the hull just between 3-4 on the indicator. It runs best by far there any more and it gets loose. And chine walks terrible. Even just a touch more is bad.
I think we are going to have to agree to disagree that is rides better than a similar sized cat. But I have not had the cat out in more than 3's.... So maybe in the real rough stuff it gets better than a cat.

I agree Either way when you come up Im getting you out in a 28 Skater, it has 3 tweaked 2.5s, Dad actually built it as A kilo boat and it holds the record from Albany to NYC and back, the acceloration is midblowing, right up your alley

Ok your on, first tell me how fast and how much $$$. Got any pictures?? I am really an I/O guy, but sounds like fun. I need to call your dad and see how things are comming.

The owner talks about selling it, but never does. Hes a cool guy tho, runs about 125, and I agree, I/Os are where its at

Looks nice, are the older boats just as good? The only thing I have found is once I drop in two built motors I will be into it for well over 100K. I can buy something newer with power for that. I do like the boat though. Thanks for looking for me.

The Spectreor the Skater? I know the new 308 Spectre is a bit different, the 28 Skater hasnt changed. But, im going to the shop today, Ill try and get some pics

The crank had to have the counterweights turned down for clearance on the piston skirts and then balanced with heavy metal. The short block should be ready for assembly the end of next week. Im going to make a run to Performance Marine (in the next week and a half) to drop off a customers motor that needs head work and a dyno session. I would do the work myself but I am sure it will need some adjustments, my guess is it is running lean on top and burned some valves (needs a dyno session). I am going the bring my camera with me and get some pictures of my stuff. I am going to install the fuel system in my boat and get it ready for the motor. Pretty sure I will order the SCX drive but want to see what the SC will run first. I am trying to get re energized about my project.
Good news is I am going to save about a grand by using a second hand intake and throttle body 1200cfm. Same Accel stuff I was ordering just used. The Accel 7+ is on order. T&D shaft rocker set up, 2 piece valve covers 10qt oil pan, and all new accessories. I am keeping my old motor complete accessories bell housing the whole works. Then when and if I get the cat I will be able to put the krypto together fast.
I have the 510 apart and am going to take it to get bored and new Ross pistons fitted. I wonder what the Krypto is worth with a fresh 510 which will be more like a 530 or so depending on how much I need to bore it remember it has a 4.125 stroke Crower crank and rods. With the freshen up I would guess 92mph or so, it ran 90 before. There are a few cats out there with no power...
I will see what the krypto does first. If I get 115 and its solid which I feel it will be. I might keep it for a while it does look hot.

Lookin forward to meeting you Don...you know how I feel about the cat...maybe A trip here is just what you need haha
