What exhaust did you go with Lightning I assume?

To be honest, other then CMI i dont know. My dad would

Should be running late today early tomorrow

Johnny, We need pic's. Doug

Yes PICS!!!


And a full report!!!

Tomorrow is the big day. I take final delivery of the boat. The right parts finally arrived from CMI and everything fit. The guys at Performance Marine took it for it's first test ride last night complete with laptop for final EFI tuning. The technology those guys have used is simply amazing. No detail is overlooked. First run with a stock 4 blade 26 prop was 78 MPH in glasslike water conditions. Jason thinks there's a few more MPH after we test a few more props to reduce slippage. I'll post some pictures and hopefully a video tomorrow night.
I'll tell you, I'll never let any one else touch my boat but Performance Marine in Bolton Landing, NY. People ship motors to them from all over the entire US just for them to work on. It's a small shop with brilliant people who treat every customer like they're the owner. If anyone is thinking of doing any motor work from a tune up to building a new motor, I'd give them a call 518-644-3080 and ask for Jason or Rick.
More to come tomorrow.

78? In a little chop you'll be over 80. Thats AWESOME!!!

Sounds like they did a great job Norman. Keep us posted.

Congratulations! 78 in flat water with 650 HP is VERY respectable! Good luck with the prop testing. Can't wait to see photos!

Thats great Norm ! Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Some chop and a labbed prop should put you over 80 MPH which is great with 650 HP.

Rgards,

Kirk, you had that boat running what speeds w/ what power?
