The previus owner had 850 HP , he ordered new props and changed the gear ratio when he built the 1100hp new engines.
I had it up to 117mph on lake michigan with that set up but that seemed to be it , that day the waves were 2-3 so I had air under the hull.
After that anytime I was in any kind of calmer water it wouldn`t go past 100mph, I thought it was an engine problem but with 1050hp in full trim Im making more than the last set and still can`t pull past 5000rpm.
So it seems it was over propped the whole time.
I have some 18 x 29`s Im going to try .. thats going to accelerate like hell but I don`t know what the large diameter will do.
