I did consider it. if I was building a stroker motor i would go for It . my machine shop is already 2weeks behind a dyno pull would probibly happen about mid november. :mad:

I know what you meen about spending more $$ its like this hobby cost you $$ just to think about it. I was kinda hoping you would dyno , I would be interested to see how the Saber compares to other boats with the same power. ( kinda selfish of me ) If I had to guess I would say that it should make would make 517 HP. & no I don't have desktop dyno just a fun educated guess. I wish you the best & I cant wait to see how it runs.

Hey littledcsrodshop, how about YOU stepping up to the window and helping pay for thy dyno information? YOU? .... SELFISH?? NAAAAAAW! LOL Oh yeah, you just GUESSED at 517 HP!!.

YOU-DA-MAN!!
GIT-ER-DUNN!!

The infamous Git-Er-Dunn-D. Why don't you go ahead & send "Martins" a check for that Dyno run & I will re-emberse you for that later. " I promise the checks in the
mail " :eureka:

As for the HP Guess some of us Tennesseans arn't really sure how to even spell dyno , so we just become educated guessers. Works like a champ untill we are completly wrong & then we just say thats what it would make if I was building it. :eek:

BTW : Pay-up & get a membership you tightwad ! :p :D

:party-smiley-048: well guys the motor is in ready to start it up thursday break in and tweak at the lake friday and then off to Grand heaven and the coast guard fest for the weekend. Im so ready toburn some fuel in this thing

You said your x-dimension is 6" right? Just wondering waht prop you are using and at what rpms. I have the red 87 28 and rebuilt my motor last year. Turned 500HP and 525 FPT on the dyno. I am running low 60's with a deep drive (7 1/2" x) with a 25' mirage. Curious to see what you can do with probabbly a little more HP then me with a shorter drive... HAVE FUN! MIKE.

Congrats ! I know you are excited to get that thing back in the water & I am anxious to see how it runs out for you. I wish you the best & hope you have a great trouble free weekend.

Seems like I remember talking about this a while back but wow 7 1/2 " is real low.

Well .............. Did you get to run the boat ??

ran the boat a few small issues but im vary happy havent opened it up yet so top speed is unknown but I pretty sure a new prop is needed mid range is where Im noticing the most gains. its loud enuf now for the sherriff to write out a nice fix it ticket. new carb some diffrent screw in studs longer pushrods and some mufflers and I will be back on the water next weekend
