hey, my father and I put a pair of 516 CID BBC's in our old one with whipples and imco SC drives and extenstion boxes and we ran 118MPH but that is really close to as fast as your going to want to go in the boat ....she starts to get alittle hairy!!

hope this helps, if you have anymore questions just ask if i dont know the answer im sure my father will.

can you post some pics of the boat?

My uncle has a 98 33 avs with 525sc with super chillers some head work and solid roller cams about 650 hp runs a solid 95. He tried the imco 2 inch lowers but did not work with out the boxes.I have it for sell for him on yacht world or go on www.dnrboatworld.com and click on boats for sell it is clean

not the merc stuff but volvo did some with the 600's and volvo drives were running in the mid 90's that I was in. My (sold) 1999 33 avs with stock 502 stock setup was around mid low 70's.

excalibur82 11-24-2007 10:50 PM

was it the dual prop volvo and they are that strong

JPD Motorsports 11-25-2007 12:05 PM

I believe that the volvo i ran in was dual, ran good believe the motors were the 600dpx?

excalibur82 11-25-2007 12:57 PM

I was in a few 38 avs,one had 500hp's and one had the 500hp volvo's with the dpx drive. The volvo boat was faster but who's going to buy a volvo over a merc in the performance market.

the volvo set-ups have the "Volvo" built by Innovation Marine 600s which are 560 hp at the props running thru DPX duo-prop drives. My boat with that set-up runs a solid 90 everyday with a best of 93.4 w/ volvo E-4 props. The Vovlo DPX set-up boats also handle significantly better than the Bravo driven boats. I know, I have owned both set-ups with a couple hundred hours on the bravo boat before purchasing the volvo driven boat.

What happened to the short lowers?

liquidcolors 11-27-2007 08:52 AM

the boat to stock so when he sold be reliable get some of
the money invested in that stuff back.

I would, and DID, cause the Volvo stuff is better than the standard Merc stuff. Whats in a name, its about what is better. The DP drives are stronger than Bravos and my motors are really built by Innovation. Which would you rather have:rolleyes::D

liquidcolors 01-19-2008 04:36 PM

They look like lightning headers,I am thinking of ordering lightning headers dry pipe system,CP performance,Hardenmarine,$2300 a side brandnew sound awsome,come black with stainless tail pipes.
