Default my new boat! 1998 donzi 28zx, what do you think

Ok guys finally picked up a new boat, its a 98 28zx with a 555ci bbc, edelbrock aluminum heads, i have the dyno sheets for over 700hp and over 680ft lbs of torque, has imco headers, and a imco extension box, imco hydraulic race steering with a 28p 4 blade bravo prop and bravo one x drive, the motor is brand new and has 3 hrs on it of setup time. How fast do you guys think it will run!

I think you can bump the 90's for as long as that drive lasts, Then under 5 mph for the tow back to the ramp .

Sounds like a sweet rig...big power. Use that big motor sparingly and get to know these guys http://bravoshop.net/.

Start a "Bravo Upgrade Fund" so you will be ready when the inevitable happens.

LOL!!!

Sounds like a sweet ride! but go easy on the drive it's got a rough life with that setup

Post some pics, easiest way is put them on a hosting site and put the link in the post, I use photobucket, but there are tons of sites.

If you're only spinning a 28p Bravo 1 @ 1.5 then I will guess 85 mph.

The Bravo 1x will definitely not last long.

I wondered the same thing this morning when I first saw the thread, I know he had an Imco Shortie though. If it has purple Dana Tabs it could be the one, But the motor and other stuff sure seems like Silverbacks boat.....
