Just a quick video my buddy shoot on his cell phone of my 1984 wellcraft excalibur messing around in the tomsriver. 80mph fly by....

Good stuff. glad to see its done and running. hows the boat ride with the high x and bravo set up apose to the old trs junk???? Haven't finished mine yet

that thing is screaming..nice job

Well I did the bravo converstion along with a bigger motor and gained almost 30mph. I am not sure how much the Bravo converstion alone gave me but I know it helped out big time. With the high x-dem I run the drive trim almost straight with the bottom of the boat, not much trim out needed. Boat feels real good running at speed but I might be able to get 1-3mph more with some fine tuning of the prop and reducing all the extra weight I have in the boat like tools, spare parts and fluids,etc.

if you dont mind me asking, what type of speed is this thing running and what size wheel. I set my x at 20.5 and my motor dynoed at 667. just waiting on steering parts. Urs will give me a good idea of what wheel to throw on first.. Def. gonna be a 5 blade

19.5x dem
620hp
28p bravo one prop labbed
82mph at 5700rpm

I tryed a 5 blade maximus 26P prop. It gained 10mph at cruising speed but decreased top speed and rpm alot. I dont think a 5 blade will work for you.... If you are hooked on using a 5 blade i'll sell you mine.
