Beats the heck of the 260 HP alpha drive set up originally on mine! Nice!

Re: Sonic Motors
 

Nice color combo.....looks great, as does the annodized pulleys. I assume their not factory ? Dont remember any factory pulleys with all the holes, unless its newer type stuff.

Re: Sonic Motors
 

Lookin good Roger!

Re: Sonic Motors
 

Very nice!

Re: Sonic Motors
 

Everything but the color and the pulleys on the blowers are the same as I bought it. The insides of the motors are a lot different. Jeff Riss of RPM did a great job on them. As of right now I have more than doubled the running time on the motors from last year. :D

Sad thing is I only had 2 hours on them before the starboard engine failed last year. :mad:

John, How is Harry doing. Good I hope.

Re: Sonic Motors
 

what's your top end on your 386 in Fresh water with these motors?

Re: Sonic Motors
 

89mph on flat water. That was with 1/4 tanks of fuel. The motors dynoed at 650hp.

Re: Sonic Motors
 

Quiet Storm,
What props are you running and at what rpm??

Re: Sonic Motors
 

32 labed Bravo 1's at 5600rpm.

Re: Sonic Motors
 

Thats some good numbers with relatively mild power ! :evilb:

Re: Sonic Motors
 

Roger, I'm glad you finally got things sorted out, 89 MPH is very impressive! I spoke with you and your wife last year at Oshkosh after your shortened run, are you returning this year, weather looks great! Steve

Re: Sonic Motors
 

Hi Steve

We are not going to make it to Oshkosh this year. Except for breaking down, I thought that was a very good poker run but I plan to stay on Lake Michigan for this year.

When I first bought the boat it ran 83 mph and I was happy with that but to be able to run in the upper 80's is great. I am surprised myself at speed of this thing but I'm not complaining. :D

Good luck with the run. :drink:

Re: Sonic Motors
 

89!!!! You can't stop there, 90 is only one away!

Re: Sonic Motors
 

Yea I know, its too tempting. The 89 was at the sea trial with the boat low on fuel and empty of all the other stuff we pack in it.

I'm planning to wait until the end of the season and lighten the boat up as much as I can, throw in some 110 and see if I can get 90 out of it.

If this doesn't work a set of Imco shorties and a pair of 5 blade Herings may get me there. Oh yea, and about $20,000 more dollars. :eek:

I hope my fall plan works then I can leave it alone. :D

Anyone else have pictures of their motors? Lets see them.
