I agree with the others,leave it alone and step up when ready
|
just sold my 26 after two years good boat but time to go.31 or 358 now.best thing to do is keep it stock sell and go bigger sonic !
|
Thanks for the info, but that is great for the 496. I have a 502 EFI, any other suggestions? How much should I expect from the reprogrammed module & flame arrestor? Tube Headers vs. stock manifolds? Any experience is appreciated.
|
What speed is the boat running. I am in the market for a 26 sonic or AT.
|
67 on gps. I love the boat it rides great but i just want to go faster. I think im just going to sell it. If your interested in a clean low hour boat let me know mine only has 81 hrs and it is stock.

Not sure about the 67 on gps ??? I have a 26' with the 496HO which is roughly 10 hp more and only saw 62.8 gps, and that was 1/2 tank,no equipment,and 1 other on board.
I put a whipple on it,started with 5 lbs of boost changed pulleys and am now at 7 lbs, had problems finding the right prop ended up labbing a 28 bravo1 4 blade. I now see with this set up 76.3 gps at 5100 rpms which is rougly around 700 hp ?? Not sure I had it dyno'd with the 5 psi,and at 5100 it was 627 hp.....So I am just assuming that 2 more lbs. of boost would give me around 75 hp. I would say either whipple it, or best bet buy a boat with the speed you desire. And a true speed of 26' s are around 64 gps. Not what people want to hear, but it is a wave crusher. When it's rough at 76 I am cruising by the boys that are running in the 80's because there boats do not handle as well. |

Those speeds are about right. Fully loaded with the family it's not more than mid 60's on a GPS speedo.
There are lots of bull****ters here on OSO. I bought it because it was a tank. I have 300 hrs, at 500 it will be a Rayar kit. I want to keep it to 89 octane. I get it wholesale. |
I've got a real nice '98 260 factory Merc Racing 525SC, full hyd. steering, K-planes and drive shower. 200 original/one owner hours; on '03 trailer. Very clean boat. 70 mph+ every day.
Eastcoastbrad...I've got two new 31SS' in stock. Hugh |
