Thought I would take a minute to update this thread. After 4 weeks of tweaking drive height, that's another story posted in another thread. The boat ran a solid 92 mph in it's every day trim. Leo told me the best he had BEFORE he switched to the Bmax's was 94 mph. There is probably a little more in the boat, but for now I'm good with 92.

Do the Bmax's rob that much HP?

good results but something is still off....the navy hull in California runs 100 with stock Merc 700/NXT's. My buddy Oliver had the black hull (former OSO boat, then fastfinance.com, then submarine, national liquidators boat) and knows every 38 Danny built. He drove the Merc. 700 boat in Lake Mead and saw the 100 tick by....he has been on Leo's boat and has had the boat on his lift in N. Palm Beach a few times.

Little update on the "No Life Like It" 38.... Port engine supposedly fairly fresh when I got the boat (15 hours) was built by a HACK. Starboard engine was done by Chief and had 3 hours on it when I got the boat. It checks out fine. After noticing some oil pressure fluctuations, I decided to have the port engine pulled to take a look. We found two wrist pin spiral locks in the oil pan. Fortunately caught the problem before it exploded. Complete rebuild is just about complete and should be back on the water this week. The quality of workmanship left a lot to be desired. This time it is built right and hopefully we'll pickup a few mph. I'll post some results after I get it broke in.
