Green Eyes on the board here is as close as you can get to 80, without being 80 with one of our 650s in it. Hes got the magic touch ;)
I asked for a 572CI block, fuel injected engine that had the internals to eventually supercharge. I'm at 650 HP now but I have a Whipple on my Christmas list. :evilb: I agree that 750 - 775 HP should get you where you want to be at the mid-eighty range. |

I don't want to squeeze every ounce out of it because I'd rather buy gas and boat soda's than rebuilds. 78 - 79 MPH is plently of fun for the fresh water boating I do. The great thing about building an engine with Saris Racing Engines is that they actually ask you want you want first and then deliver it.

The 3a boat w/ 950 ran mid 90s when new w/ jo at the throttle.
The mig ran 100 w over 1000hp. Neither have a liner or cabin. |

Mine ran 81.6 on GPS with approximately 700hp Bischoff Racing Engines 540ci but I bought it with that motor and never saw dyno sheets so who knows exact HP (but the guy I bought it from wasnt a BS artist).
I now have a 675hp 547ci Tunnel Ram motor in it built by Active Racing Engines. Imco Drive. Dont know what she will run yet but I assume 80-84 depending on prop and conditions. They are always faster in the salt as well. I only run fresh water (I have not run salt but from reading on here that seems like the consensus). I was told by the previous owner that he ran 97mph with 900hp blower motor in my boat. |
Glad to see some activity on the board now that winter is setting in for us Northerners ! :food-smiley-007:

Yeah, I'm glad to see all the responses.. but, I knew you Pantera owners are a fairly active bunch from lurking in your section for quite a while.
ar-15: Is yours a race or pleasure boat? Guessing race.. cuz thats pretty fast per hp. |
