What Idles at 650rpm and has the power to reach 4800+rpm while spinning a 28p Bravo I prop?
My new 502! :D
Needless to say I'm vary happy with the output of my new motor! :D
76.4mph with 3 people, 3/4 tank, and 18 beers... :evilb:
Bash is right, a little chop helps with top speed numbers! :cool:
I don't think she'll get 80, but fumes, alone and a 1' chop, 77-78... :drink:

Damn! I have to get out and see if I can top Pat's new numbers. :D

I'm going to try a run with my Mirage +. I'm wondering if now with full hydraulic steering the boat may handle a little better with the Mirage.

Dave, bring that baby up for Superfest so we can run them side by side with the Bashman... :evilb:

Yes fellows, I am a happy boater... :D :D :D

Henry and T braved a windy chilly afternoon for their first boat ride of the year... :D
No high speed numbers to report. She never rev-ed over 3000rpm today...

Re: First Superboat Ride of 2005
 

Looks like great family Pat. Hope they enjoyed the ride. Did you break out the fishing pole?

Nice pics, that makes it all worth it. Good luck with the boat!
