My recent brainstorm....

How much power do you all think it would take to push a 33 to 90 on a gps?

I'm saying 700 per side....maybe some 502's with bm 250's @ 5-7 lbs.

That would be a drive breaker though

Any thoughts? How fast have you 33 owners seen in your setups and what power and prop. Anyone thrown big power at one of these things?

Just curious......

I'm gonna say 650 a side
should get you 90,
X dimension, boxes or no boxes
will matter.
Afriend of mine has a 99'
that was set up for F2,
(lighter layup, fuel cell,extra throttle,
gauges on port side) carbed HP500's
stelling boxes set in the middle hole,
labbed 30p bravo's.
It run right next to mine, (79 to 83
gps) depending on load, weather,
water conditions.

My dealer sold a 33 with 575's,
boxes, deco lite stringers, they claimed
ran 88 on the missippi river.
This same boat made 1 pass at last years LOTO
shootout, ran 75, something had to be wrong

whippled 500 efi's

JT.....Yeah, that sounds reasonalbe. I'm just guessing, but I'd love to hear from someone who has tossed 1300 or 1400 hp at one of these.

With that setup you could have yourself on hell of an outfit. 650 a side could be achieved with some warmed over 502mags and wieand 177's. Even better, like I said above.....502 mags with a 250 on top with just a 5 psi pulley. That would be bad as all get out.

Okay....that's my next boat. Made up my mind..........

If only it were that easy.......

Liquid, I think it would be cool to find a late 90's model that needed to be repowered and build from there. Build some carbed roots blower motors........ahhhh, very cool that would be

This one would have seen a blower this winter if not for the 9.9:1 cr. Then the little 24 Outlaw would have hit 80......and that would have been pretty dang skippy

My guess is about 750hp and some Imco Extreme drives. should do the trick.

I ran across a guy once who had a 33 with Vortec blowers and he was running around 85. I think he was around 600 hp per motor. This is a great question because next year I am going to go to a newer 33 or a 94-97 32 outlaw. I am going to run 650-700 per motor. I was hoping for at least 85 with that set-up.

Brilliant minds think alike.........

Keep us posted, that is what I would like to do in the next year or 2. Go 90 in a 33 without being real radical. I think it would be no big deal and I'm sure the boat would handle it.

Later...Allan
