Pedal Pusher hit the water last week for a short shake down cruise and another today. 900's per side will certainly get you past 100, 800's would do it also... Just got to figure out what you're going to connect that to. Bravos would seem like high maintenance. Six's would be an expensive upgrade.

I run bravos with 525s and just change the gear lube twice a year. 5 seasons with zero issues

Awesome can't wait to see how the numbers turn out on it for you guys. I know #6 would be well out of my personal budget lol.

I never hurt one of my bravos but the motors were only around 625 or so. I think the guys who bought broke one though. I think the bravos were safe when I had it because the water never gets that bad. The boat very rarely left and reentered the water.

That sounds like a great package, but it won't get ya triple digits in a 33 Powerplay. Would work real well in a 30' cat but I don't think that's what to OP is after.

Yes -2 lowers would definitely help my speed and he also had the ITS boxes. Unfortunately, running the great lakes having standard lowers helps me run faster in bigger water than shorties would. Catch 22 for sure. He was also in salt I believe. I'd love to get 89 out of it!!

Yeah...we ran them in Long Island Sound, it was a sweet ride.

Just for comparison, Dan (OL) ran about 91-92 (right Dan?) in his Gladiator with the same power and sporty's too if I recall properly.
