Cool boat set up. Somewhere along the line someone changed a pulley or de-tuned? It's currently only making 3lbs of boost. Curious if anyone knows the scoop on the motor, or if there is an issue.

Hey 'stone did you buy it? If Scott had been willing to work a trade on a race car, I could have answered that question for you based on first hand knowlege!

I talked to Scott about 3 wks ago regarding that boat. I love that one. I wouldn't change a thing. He was allowing me 7 for my trade. I've already been approved but, was hoping to get better interest rates thru my bank. I've been waiting to close on my house to see where I'm at finacially otherwise I'd tell you how fast it'll go right now I also need to put my trailer back together.

I was under the impression that the switchs for the tabs could be reversed on the lever, (so they are facing the driver) and not have to use my pinky to operate

I have to admit it's a very CLEAN bad-azz boat but just not very practical for my type of boating.

It's a killer boat no doubt. -I'm biased of course because I love that hull.
Thing is, it is supposed to be a 750hp motor and a 94-102?mph boat. I met Scott and Greg last Friday. We test drove the boat and it only ran into the upper 70's and just touched 80 at the end of a good run w/2 people, not much fuel. Started with a 34 pitch but it was only seeing 4800rpms or so. Then switched to a 32 and it was around 5000rpm or maybe a little more. It doesn't seem to be making much boost (gauge said 3lbs) and I'm a little puzzled as to what's up with the motor. That's why I'm asking if anyone knows if someone changed a pulley. My guess is the pulley was changed or there may be an issue?

ps- as always, Jo was a huge help with everything he knew on the boat.
He personally drove it well into the 90's when it was new. So I know it is capable. Just not sure what is holding it back now.
