Dave, I'm running an Imco 2" shortie with a 30 Hering in my 2750 and it is pushing 100mph GPS and rides like a dream.

Laveycraft 20.8 Sebring 406/ITS Fleetwood nitrous toy hauler Yamaha raptor 700/Kawi KFX 450 Nissan Titan I'm running an HP500, 3.3 Whipple, AFR Heads, and the Imco with the Hering. I have had some bottom work done and it made all the difference in the world. At speed you can run hands off with no tabs, no chine walking, no porpoising, just fast and smooth. It's my second Lavey, first one was the XTC 21 footer with the HP500- great boat, as is the 2750. |

What power are you running? Open or closed bow? I heard that the 2750s get real loose and start chinewalking at high speeds, is this the case with yours?

Check my reply above. Mine is a closed bow and estimated power is close to 800 according to the guys that did the work. As for handling, the bottom work made all the difference. It is now an awesome boat to drive at any speed and any water.

Oh ok was yours the one that Brent Leach did the work on? I think I talked to you a while back about the work you had done and I'm now looking at having Brent do some work on my boat.

Funny you should ask because I called and left a message for him today and he never called back. Do you know where he has gone?

I guess you should probably call the guys at ECM and ask them about Brent's whereabouts and also whether or not they do any bottom work themselves. Sorry I can't be of more help- I'm just thankfull he was around to do the job on my boat along with alot of help from ECM. |
