I like the guys who give real numbers and adjustment factors. a JC motor that makes 650hp might make 700+ with some less scrupulous guy at the dyno. Some guys are honest and give 650hp others are selling the 750hp motor that runs slower than the JC or Performance Marine (to name a few) motor that only puts out 650hp HP numbers sell... so it is really hard to compare between two different dyno's and operators. I know my motor Dyno'd by Performance Marine like yours from JC are real numbers.
But really nice vid Did it take you a long time to put together?

Or do you set them up to run 75 wide open and just try to hold it there with throttle stops. seems like the is a lot of strategy involved.
Some boats are capable of running well over 75. Some probably run right around 75-78. That's all part of the strategy. It's basically a contest to see who can keep it closest to 75 MPH without going over for the longest:drink: IMO tourquey motors with crazy acceleration from 50-70 MPH is what you want. FF2 - Looking good so far. I'll be up there the whole week between xmas and new years. Will ride locally if we get snow, otherwise Indian Lake and Speculator. Let me know if you guys will be out. |

Maybe five hours? It was my first movie. Its very easy if you have a Mac. We only had two runs for a total of 30 mins so I didn't have much footage.:angry-smiley-038:
I think everyone ends up trying a few props but EVERYONE comes back to Bravo 1's. My boat handled like sh*t with the hydromotive. When i went back to my mechanic Joey Impressica he laughed at me, threw on 28p Bravo 1 and said "here, you got a whole new boat now! Forget how that thing handled before." . I can tell you he was RIGHT, it handled like a dream every since. :poopoo: Just the kryptonite or the Mystic too?????? |
mastercraft... boats looking good.
just an fyi, its 'cropper' not crooper. |
Pete...i doubt Ill be out but my bands playing in town if u wanan stop by or see the boat...or Chirs's lol. Don...our old boat would run a solid 80 and accelorated like a mofo...the only problem was keeping the bottom together and not breaking out.
