This will get you where you want to be....

For sale fresh rebuild, 10K with stock ported manifolds..

Well I have been trying to get back in for two days. Had to recreate password and have done that so many times. So my new user name will be pq260ho.

Well the prop i have is the 23 laser plus

Shoulda bought my 280. All you would be doing is washing it and holding on ! 80 gps !!

I just could not pass this deal up 2yrs back 03 with 71 hrs. I had a 22 stingray for 6 yrs and was over getting beat to death. This boat rides like a dream even on the craziests weekend holidays. My goal this year is attempt to get her into the low 60's if possible. Tryed to talk my accountant into a super charge but NO! But in two years will be offing this for larger and quicker,

Pm Speedgirl, our forum moderator, that way you can get your old account squared away. Not sure what's going on with your HO but you should be mid 60's all day with that setup

This is my 280 with the Raylar 525, stock exhaust, before the installation of CMI headers.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqxSciMAUCc

What kind of hp are you getting out of it verbi

According to Raylar, the 496 with the BCK-103 kit puts out 525-535hp and 600 ft/tq. Add a good header system and the power jumps up again to the 565- 575 hp range. The computer needs to be tweeked for optimum performance which this one has.
Best speed I saw was 74 mph in the 280.
Sorry for the highjack boys!!

I believe your boat is too heavy to be running a Laser. The diameter and blade surface area are probably not enough to carry the bow of a boat as heavy as your 260. The best thing you can do is call Brett at BBlades and give him your information in terms of boat, motor, RPM, speed, etc. and he can recommend the best prop for your application.

Best advice to date.
