Hi Andy, thanks bro, yeah I`m going to get the boat back in the race course next year, so Mike can get a taste of no mercy for one hour.

Albert

Hi Tom, thank you bro, she is a hand full....


Albert

Hey Albert,

Have you kept any record over your rpms/top speeds with different props?

I would like to know what slip # and top speeds you have with Bravos and Hydromotives.

Have you ever tried a std Merc lower instead of that Imco one? If so, any differences in speed, slip and handling?!

Thanks,
Tomas

Tomas never tried the Merc std lower, wish I did, probably would have gone faster.
I`ve only made three passes at full throttle and don`t plan to do anymore. All but two were with the old Gen 2 exhaust.

31 H6 Hydromotive labbed- 6200rpm`s 102 mph 15% slip
32 Px5 Hydromotive labbed-6200rpm`s 100 mph 18% slip
the two above were with the Gen II`s

32 Brave labbed- 6300 rpm`s 101 mph 16% Gen III`s

This was pumping 11 lbs. of boost using race fuel making the motor at around 1050 hp. Remember Tomas, my motor is alot bigger than yours 584 c.i. with a 14-71 and two marine race 1050 on top. Dart fully ported 360 aluminum heads and a solid roller cam.

With respect to high speeds, I don`t plan to achieve these speeds anymore due to the nature of the beast. I have achieved my goal and don`t need to impress myself anymore. At 95/97 is plenty fast for me right now and there are very few boats that can keep up with me at 90 mph.

Thanks,

I was just curious to see if the slip# stay around 16% even at those speeds with the notched Panteras and they apparently do. I'm not trying to outrun you... Hahaha

What about your race engine then? Any numbers?

Albert, If your going out this weekend let me know, I'll be out.......


Andy

82 mph with a labbed 28 Hydromotive at 5500.....
