My brother and a friend of my father's have been putting his new 540 cu.in Dart motors together. It may be a 95 mph to 100 mph boat when it is all said and done, with mild horsepower. Not bad for tame blowerLESS EFI motors... yep, Will Smith Phantom boats are the sh*t!

Who has a set of 34" and or 36" Bravo's we can try, in the near future?

I would love to see someone put BIG POWER in a 38 like Delaney's boat and let it fly. If I'm thinking right, Delaney's boat had a lot of bottom improvement work done to it. Meaning, it was Dialed In. If I only had the funds, it would be on a short list of boats to run on LOTO!

That boat is priced right (the used 39' raceboat). I wondered if Will plugged that mold, used the twin ventilated bottom (like 39' boat), how much faster the 34' would be with the 39' bottom design? Or, maybe not as fast? Or maybe faster but not as good in rough water compared to the existing 34' bottom? Guess it is time for Will to build another, and find out. I too am cash limited, so I will not be able to order one unless the cash geenie appears from the magic lamp...

I think the 34' right now is aweseome. But that 39' is cool.

No, that boat has had mechanical work done by Bobby Wallace of Offshore Performance in Scullville, NJ. He is a top notch guy down here in southern NJ. I would call him about that boat. Or take a ride to Brigintine, check it out.

My mother, uncle, and I are taking my father's boat down to Phantom for Will Smith to go through and make it perfect. My father had done a heck of alot since he bought it.
Innovation Marine will dyno and tune the new 540's, keeping the MerCruiser EFI. If my father were still alive he would have done it all himself, and it would be perfect; I am sure Will Smith will do a great job, and Innovation will tune the motors the way my father would have wanted them to be - reliable, low rpm idle,and no reversion!!!!
