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.

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 "

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.

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

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.

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