Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Your not alone G.
And, I bet Rick wants to know more than anyone... :eek:
Rick did say that the boat after the Turbine boat gets a 496.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

You know what I mean Pat..............we all want to see this NEW BOTTOM ROCK on a know motor. The 425 would be the one to go with......................Hey I got an Idea !!!!!!!! Did JC put the 425 in the BACARDI SPECIAL ????? I THINK NOT !!!!!! :D

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

I like your thinking Gary. :evilb:
But it would not really be a fair test with the added loses of the tranny associated with Robs Konrad drive... :(
It's got to be a Merc 496HO, Bravo X, just like Krackmeup's boat... :cool:

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

And our very own JC just happens to have that whole pkg. for his boat...............Some one has to call JC..............AND ASK !!!!!

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

To put some major ponies in it?? :D

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Ok all I think we got the motor issue put to bed, I'll have some details to post tomorrow I hope. If JC wants to drop his motor in my hull for testing more power to him but I seriously doubt it with how busy they have been around the shop.

Rick that picture with the side by side decks is sick... One of the best pic's you have taken and the subjects look sweet to boot!!!

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

I highly doubt JC will put his motor in for testing for 2 reasons.
1. It's not a straight bolt up to the drive like an XR. It will need a 4 point mount made up.
2. The Konrad has a speedy lower. You need to be going over 80 for that to show speed gains. Coen Jr. lost 2mph when he tried one on his Y2K.
To show the true difference, the Y2K needs a 496HO with a XR drive.....period.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Yup, but I'd say X drive like Krack has or had. The XR takes a tiny bit more power to drive than an X.

So Guys,
How fast is this baby going to run?

My guess, assuming 950HP at the prop, is 104mph... :D
