Stock or labbed?

the ones we have done with the 500 were stock 28 would turn around 5000 right around 80mph,the lab would be a little better if done properly,the x dimension also factors in as the newer boats had a higher x

got some new parts for it ..... comp cam roller rockers and lifters for the gen5 .. a set of rollers cam hp500 cranes from ateco .. cmi mufflers from Shogren for a hundred bucks for four during the 50 % sale, probably will cut them and weld them to the tail pipes i have now... and a set of 28 hydromotive from ed champion on MDG advice for what would work good. Engines should be done by june.. if I can keep finding deals like I have

Does anyone know where i can purchase a 25foot powerplay?

I ran 28's with 496HO's and am running 30's currently with 525's. My X-dimension is probably a touch higher. 28's would really be a nice blend of cruise and top speed, I'd go 28's and lab to 29's if you wanted a touch more speed.

the heads were corroded and I bought some 308 darts for it (from B38 done by tyler crockett), so my engines will be close to 525's ... I have a set of 28 hydromotive now and will hopefully need 30 bravos.. the small, low flame arrestors touch the hatch so the engines must mounted high... I think with the dart intakes I have the hatch will have to be modified and made taller.. It is getting hot down here so progress has slowed on it and cash reserves are running low also for it so I am concentrating on getting the 502's ready .. and not worry about the rigging until fall...been buffing the hull and it looks good ....really hoping for 80mph plus when it's finished

you should be close, I run 83-84 consistently regardless of load, fresh water of course so you may see a little better if you run salt at all

If I am evenclose to that( 83 -84 mph ) it will be worth all the upgrades... Does anyone have carb'ed hp500's in their boat (older style hull) and it clears the hatch.. post pics if you have them of your set ups..thanks jay

Whats everybody's X dimension's? Trying to decide on throwing some imco shortys on it
