500 EFI ran 81 mph 540 ci /600 hp ran 87 mph (never dynod ) The labbed 4 blade hydro is the best prop to run on this boat -the boat needs a little transom lift to air out the step - too much lift and yes it will walk - Really depends on what you are doing with the boat - to fly off 4-6 footers at 75 mph , the hydro keeps her flying level with less ballast up front . thanks |

By the way , after running 2 mag 27s , and 2 Pantera 28s , this boat by far is the best in the rough , fastest with least hp, and well balanced 27 i ever drove and raced .

Well get used to hearing it, because it seems that everyone who has owned/driven one says the same thing. :coolcowboy:

Johhny,
Hope you and your dad kick some serious #ass#. The boat ran ok with a 24 B1 stock , ad a 26 B1 stock also . Randy Schleuss from Typhoon turned me to the hydro 4 blade . Throttle up labbed them - they also turned down the OD by 1/2" . the hydro loosened up the boat a little , with little or no chine walk at top speed - chine walk is loose, loose is fast , nice ! To keep the boats under 75 (which is hard to do ) , we ran 23 or 24 pitch hydros cut down - I ran one of Randys 27 " Hydros , labbed from TU. Incredible acceleration from bottom to top, ran 86 to 87 mph at around 5700 as i remember . Randy swears by them - The Krypto hull is very efficient up top , and you dont need much blade surface to get the speed - te smaller blade surface acts like a higher stall converter also for engines with less torque and high RPM. The 5 blades give too much transom lift - never used em, never liked em - some boats love them - |
