My p29 winter project
 

With winter in full swing it is time to get ready for summer. Removing engines and drives tomorrow. On #22. Having transom replaced along with all of the holes from the ridiculous stereo patched. Sending out the drives, I had snapped something at the end of last season. If I have any other extra money I might build a few 383s. Does anyone have any numbers on what a p29 runs with 400-425hp. Just wondering. Will post pics as engines come out.

Not a p29 but did the same rebuild last year on my 31. Pulled engines, had transom and stringers replaced then i rerigged. It was a lot of work but I feel alot better about the boat now.

Well it's Saturday night did you have any luck pulling the engines?

Drives and engines are out. just need to remove tabs and gimbals, Will post pictures soon

I have a friend that had a p29 with 383 425hp but he took the black hawks of and it ran 85mph range

Finished removing everything today brought the boat home. Will post pictures soon

Did you figure out what broke on the drive?

Not yet sending them out this week. Looking to upgrade clutches and gears

Good luck with the project. I have the Bravo 4V 383 Mag Strokers from Merc (Crate Motors). They have 350hp with the stock exhuast with the BH drives. Best I have seen is 76mph on GPS. I know my props need to be cleaned up. I can't imagine that will account for much more than 1 or maybe 2 mph. Another 150hp should get you into the 80's.

how much do the P-29's weigh?
