They give you a gps to go onboard. If you break 75mph twice, your disqualified. If you break it once, you get a penalty? I beleive. Its a standard race.....I beleive theres three kryptonites in that class actually. Superheat Guomada and Typhoon

I dont doubt that you ran 89mph, and as Don said, he doesnt exactly know how much hp his motor is putting out, so it could very well be that a proper set up 650hp will run close to 95mph. I know that with 800hp in my boat, I have run a best of 104mph, and John (lightspeed) ran a best of 106mph when it was new.
WIth that said, I sure hope that 650hp will run 95, because that is what I am planning on detuning my 598ci to so it will live a bit longer.

Guomada is Saris Racing Engines now...and its a little different than them just handing out a gps..you have to buy a special trackign one now. You get 3 shots. Superheat is unde rnew ownership too.

Sh*t, maybe I got lucky then! JCPerformance, around 620hp with wrong prop and a broken trim, two people and almost 3/4 tank of gas pulled out 89mph.....

I tried a lot of props on mine, The like the 4 blade Bravo style. But i tried a Maximus and it performed well also very stable but seemed to hold the bow down a bit, I would have liked to put some time on it to get a true feeling. I will be prop testing with the bravo's and Maximus when I get the motor done.
I hated the Hydromotive it was really loose.

I had a Hyrdomotive P-5 on mine when i fiirst got it and was not a big fan at all. Anything over 85mph turned it into a driver's boat, and not in a good way. the chine walk was almost uncontrollable. Luckily, I threw a blade on it and picked up a used Labbed Bravo 1. The first time I had it out, it felt like an entirely different boat, rock solid all the way into triple digits.
I have not tried a Maximus, but with the way my Bravo 1 performed, I dont think I need to.
