Jo guesstimated 72-74mph w/ the Merc 525EFI & feels like the KE powerplant is worth another 10-12mph So approx 85mph. We do all our guesstimating based on two passengers & 1/2 a tank of fuel (70gals in this case)

Mike,

Right now still looking like an XR which I realize is about 75hp underated for my engine but both Jo & my KE contact said if I'm not hammering the throttle from a standing start all the time but moreso doing rollon WOT runs I shouldn't have a problem. I asked Jo about the B-Max & IMCO but he couldn't really assure me that I'd be any better off for the extra $$ since he didn't really have any experience w/ either. KE recommended the addition of one of the combo billet cap / drive showers would be a worth while investment.

Headed to Miami the weekend of 1/24 to see how things are coming along & finalize some color choices.

Happy New Year To You As Well!

Mark,

I don't need to be faster just as fast as my fellow Pantera boater. I need to live up to the mark you've set on LKN for the Pantera brand!

Headed to visit the factory the weekend of 1/24. US Air tic was $192 if you want to join me.

Michael
