Justin Howder at Jordan Point Marine 804-458-0065 has the mold for the hatch he also cut out and remolded the under side of the swim platform to clear the steering. The guy does a great job he is a bit expencive, it's set up to clear a B&M 250

Here is a recent video from a Radar Shoot on the Appomattox River 5/3/2014

Oct 25 We're running boat on the Appomattox River, Hopewell Va. That's just off the James River a good size raft up usually happeneds during the runs. We start around 11 am and usually go till 4 pm

Great thread here. Thanks for the tips Cole-One :-)
Here's a pic of my p22 -87... all the way from the other side of the sea..



And the motor a few days before going into the boat

Nice air pic! Let me know how you come on speed once you try some 3 blades! What heads are on your motor?

Dart heads, hydraulic rollercam. It made 676hp and 694lbs in dyno. I love it!!
I have bravo one with the "top piece" for diesel. This gives 1.3 ratio. The plan was to get the boat more stable with higher prop speed, but I'm not sure it's the right way to go. Espessially when I saw your film of your 89mph ride. I tested a couple of different props (turbo 4 blade 24p, 3 blade mirage 25p and powertec 23p). It ran best with the mirage, but the 5000rpm was a bit low. I'd like to see 5600 on the tac at top speed. The plan is to test the mirage without the 220lb extra load i have in the very front end of the boat now. After seen your film I see that I was "on the wrong track" to get the nose town..

Looks Good.......
