Max power in an Enticer?
Any ideas what an Enticer hull can handle as far as power/speed? Currently has carbed 454 mags (330hp) with B1's/Imco -2's, Bravo 1 26p 4blades. Runs 67-70 depending on load in boat.........
Original motors with 430 hrs and no problems.....just want a little more speed. I'm thinking about mildly built carbed 502's (for reliablility). Maybe 425-450hp. Can the hull handle that power without being too squirrely? Will that likely get me to 75-80? Would I have to change to hydraulic steering?
Would appreciate any comments............Mark

The boat could handle 500efi's with xz drives or beefed up bravo 1's... also another option is 540's a guy on torch lake with an older enticer has one with 540 bulldogs in it. If you want to be around 80 in an enticer id recommend getting k-planes to replace your stock trim tabs and keep running 4-blade props to avoid chine walk at 70 and beyond. I'm running 7.4mpi 310hp's with 25p mirage plus's labbed to 24p by BBlades... got 69.57 on gps last time I ran it with 2 people and a little under half tank. Built 502's will be sweet in that boat let us know what happens

Mark, it's been a while buddy!
My old bucket has factory 502s with 23p 3 blades (starboard has about 80sh hours and the port about 300+) Best I've seen is 71 GPS. I've got the big Kafer K planes too, just would like a little more mph! Love to hear what you do and what you get out it!!

Thanks Aj, and not that I don't believe you, just want to hear what others have to say about this set up. Thought I read in another thread that this was the right setup for the 290 502s? Sorry to hijack, however it would be nice to get some extra MPH!
