386 At Shogrens
Great looking 386 at Shogrens. anybody know the history of the Boat. Has B-Max drives and Hood scoops so I'm thinking it had big power at one time.
How much power do you think it would take to get a 386 to 85-90MPH?

Don't recognize this boat.
May or may not have had bigger power, just may have the Bmax's put on just in case or depending on the condtions it was run in
386 with 900's = 106 mph plus or minus a few depending on water and load.

Sonic (Jay Ross) would not sell me a 31 without hydraulic steering ,because the boat would go over 70MPH. That was their rule on any boat. This boat was built when Richard Hewitt was the owner of Sonic. I can assure this boat should run over 70. I have driven 42's that ran over 70 with 500 carb motors. That was a good catch, I did not notice that. Fountain40icbm is right ITS requires no hydraulic rams.
