just picked the boat up damn good thing i have spare drive/engines. long work week ahead will post but dont think i will have pics by the weekend. and storm it is a 89 not an 81 as i was told still wil be in touch as i have the mechanics and a kick ass hull short on int and vynil

Jo has told us that the fastest he's had a 24' to was just over 100mph with 900HP...:eek:
There are a couple of 24' Supers that have cracked 100mph as well.
Not me, no way...:rolleyes:

How many hp is a 462 ci, with .6 lift bob m cam, sm exhaust, and 781 heads, with small domed pistons, approx 9.1 compression..

That motor should make about 450hp and 5oo ft lbs of torque. Almost identical to my motor I built and dynoed over the winter.

Cdail28590 what boat are u running it in? Im going to test mine over the next couple of days, i was running it before but with a total timing of 26 degrees, bc distributer was broken, now i have the new one in there and i am getting 34 total timing, what made me nervous before is she was only pulling 5000 rpm, which was damn near where my old setup ran, with the old prop the new motor was doing the same top speed, but again i had bad timing problem so well see.. How fast do you thing this motor well push my 89 pantera?

I had a blue and white 24 with an 800hp blower motor in it and ran 92mph, before I owned the black 28, it was a blast and very stable. Took it to Lake Erie numurous times and would run 4 to 5's with no problems. But be warned the 24 is a drivers boat very sensitive to all types of input due to the narrow beam, Jeff

Adam,

Like we have talked, it is going to be tough to get that boat going past 70, takes a ton of power to break that barrier. We will be racing Sunny Isles(north Miami) this weekend with theh 38 Formula, stop by and see us.

I hit 64mph at 5000rpm today, I need a bigger prop I think a 23plus or a 25, any thoughts?? Rick which day sat or sun

I'll be in the pits sat. and Sunday, race is Sunday, supposed to be flat, Ray may bring the Cat down, but I am stuck on land being trailer ***** for the team. Which prop did you get, the 23? maybe have some cup added back in, that prop was labbed, The 23 plus probably wont get you any speed. I do have access to the 24 4 blade offshore(On Mikes boat right now) that you could borrow to try, but that prop was labbed also, so who knows what it really is??

My boat is a 24 PYthon. I ran 37 degrees total timing on the dyno but I made the mistake of having it to high when running it. It was at 39 degrees and dropped a valve seat so now I am building another motor. I haven't ran my boat since I got it with the motor tuned right but it should be a 74-76 mph boat with the 500 hp motor I am building now.
