Mid 90s will be reaching a bit. I'd say 89-91...
The boat would not quite get to 80 with the 415s...Now you have 85 mpre hp per side...
For example the 30 Cig (step bottom) runs about 83 with 496/425 hp and XR Short Sport ITS. The same setup with 525s runs 91.
The Cig is heavier, but has steps, and the 525s have more power than the 500s.
BUT, the 525 boats pull a whole lot stronger than the 496 boats. It's good you got beefier drives.
Does the boat cavitate the props when planing???
What props? What rev limiter do you have?
I'd think it'll pull 32 B1s to the rev limiter... In a hurry.
Race? I'd put the twin 500 boat against the single any day...
Nice Job Mark!

Hi Tim;
I have to get Photo shop to down size the photos...but I took hundreds from the day we pulled the motors. We were lucky if the motors were putting out 350 hp,when we purchased the boat...in April the oil pressure in the one "bad" motor was running at 25 lbs...until finally the computer wouldn't let it run anymore.The gentleman that installed your stainless marine exhaust did all our rigging. I'm extremely happy with the end result. I don't believe the original drives would have lived very long.Jo has told me that "Cherry Bomb" is running 92 with 500EFI's and stock XZ's, no sportmasters...We have to find the right props !!! Call me, we'll take you out, as long as you get your tears on the deck....You won't recognize the boat.The only thing thats original is the straps that hold the cabin doors open.

Here's a pic of the 500EFI's...In away it was good my 502 mag mpi's got lost at the engine builders shop in Katrina,the only down side, is that Ron Sporl doesn't want to return my $7000.00 deposit I sent him for the rebuilds he didn't do....BEWARE !!

where did you get that hatch lift? It looks like what I need. Is that a wheel on the end that rolls as the hatch opens?
