Those look awesome!

But what about water injection? Where does that occur?

Someone needs to buy these - I'm not in the market right now after all the stuff I bought this summer - boat, trailer, lift.

they are 2 yrs old with maybe 25hrs on them at most. they hook into your standard water feed line that comes into your factory manifolds. I put them on the 22 then pulled the motor apart and sold it to buy the HTM that i currently have. They will bolt directly onto the 22 and 23, just figured I would put it out there for you guys.

Okay guys, need some help to figure out what exactly is going on here.

Yesterday, for the first time in like 2 months, Georgian Bay was dead calm. So, I got to really put the hammer down. With 2 people and just under a full tank of gas, I saw an indicated 78mph at around 5200rpm. Now, here's the thing - I still had about 15% throttle to go. I actually backed right out once I saw the rpm reading because the max on the 502 is 5k rpm. I have verified that the prop is indeed a 25" Bravo 3 blade.

So what prop should I upgrade to? Clearly, there's more top end in this boat, and I'd like to see just how much there is.

I'd also like to know why the boat seems to be very fast for that hull/motor combo. I am wondering if I got a particularly strong 502 from the factory by the luck of the draw.

I must say this thing is just awesome!

is that gps speed or speedo ???? and you might want to have that tack checked for accuracy ,its funny i have a question about my scs as well,i just put a 26p 4 blade bravo1 on my scs and took it for a spin sunday with me 192 lbs. and my friend 220 lbs. and a full tank of gas 54 gals.at 7lbs.pre gallon =378lbs.my gps speed was 68.7 at 4,800 -4,900 rpms,now my question would be to anybody that might help me is how much more speed can i expect bye shaving some weight off ? like;; just me in the boat with 10 gallons of fuel ??? could that get my speed up to 75 mph? that would be shaving off 528 lbs.would that get me 6 mph more ??? thanks for your help don

I don't have a GPS yet, it's on the lie-o-meter. But how much error is in the stock speedo?
