JUST WONDERING WHOS RUNNING THE FAST ONES-AND WHAT SPEEDS ARE BEING REACHED. --
HAS ANY ONE EVER THROWN A 4 BLADE HYDRO 30" PITCH -
WITH SOME BIG HORSEPOWER

I sure hope you get some replies. We put a B&M 174 on a 454 mag, Gil manifolds, fresh heads, same cam used in the 525sc, blah, blah, blah, guessing about 500hp. (not dynoed yet). Fastest was 74.7 mph with a 29 thats been cut down and labbed. The problem is the boat never ran long enough for us to dial it in. A week after it was finally staying together my brother hit a submerged log and tore the gimbal and drive off. I want to know what kind of setup tips people have used to keep them stable with power. We are definitly putting steering on this winter.

Hey guys,

Lots of rumors out there, we know of a few that run in the low 90's and many in the 80's. The key element is always hydraulic steering, tabs and prop. Someone just put a canopy on one and will be racing in the Great Lakes Silver Cup Series. Looks way kool.

i was just curious whos running what!
i am looking to get past 90 this up coming summer
i have a twin turbo on a 454
a can dial in on the dash the amount of boost i want to throw
this set up is a work in progress thats why i say next year im looking to pass 90!
at 7 pounds with a 25" 3 blade mirage plus5800 rpm gps reads 76.3 mph
at 7 pounds with a 30" 4 blade hydromotive 5500 right handed i run 85.6 mph on gps
at 7 pounds 30" 4 blade hydromotive running left handed 5600 i get 86.8 mph
like i said this is a work in progress - ill keep ya up dated
i plan on a complete overhall and getting rid of the 454
and taking a 502- making it a 510! if all goes well this winter that is the plan! im going old school with the turbos-cause no one else has em!!

for stability i actually get a better ride with the bennet tab then the bennet sport tab-over 70 mph the tabs come all the way out any how-i als have dual ram hynautic steering
i would never run a boat of any length or configuration with out dual arms-if you do with a single arm make sure its on the right side!

Sunsation98,
Are your Bennet tabs in the full up position slightly below level as mine were from the factory? I have since put caps on mine that have shorter internal stops and now fully retracted are 1 1/2 inches above parrallel to the bottom which seems to have added a bit more speed and reentry/ ride seems better.

Kenny is that you?
Welcome to the board. You will find an incredible amount of info here. For general questions try the technical Q & A section. It is read by more people than Sunsation Specific.

yea its me larry - this site is way cool!
in regards to the tabs-yes i have had them placed at almost two full inches past level with the boat-the previous owner took that upon himself to modify!

Before getting too far into the push for 90, take a look at Kook's discussion thread on this board. I still don't buy these boats should be running over 90. I found the most fun in the Aggressor is to go out and run on a Saturday or Sunday between the Clinton River and Gull Island at 55 to 70 mph, then you will find out what a thrill ride is.
