I wouldnt boost more than 5psi and keep hp under 700. I have eaten Many bravoXRs My best speed was low 90s with about 725hp. 92 point something if i recall (i cooked a drive that day, no rough water no slamming the throttle just too much torque) I have tried many many props including herring(3500$used) and hydro P5X has been by far the best
I am rambling sorry! iv been off the water for awhile! pick a sunday in may and we can meet at Claudios( i hav a wedding memorial weekend)
You too Pat!
Was your boat rigged by Falcon? I know that boat, funky paint job i lov it! It also was claimed to do in the 90s When I tested it also ran 81 82 best .

Re: Jcap
Hey Jim! Not sure if you remember me, but you and your lady meet Kelly and I at the Mid Summer Fun run to Claudio's two years ago. I had a 29 Fountain with Stars and Stripes Graphics.... I wondered where you disappeared too, then heard you were ill. Glad to hear you are better and pleased to hear you are back in the saddle. Hope all the ugly is behind you and would love to run with you this year. Got a new piece ( 38 Lightning) which moves well. Love hanging with the Superboat boys, best lot on the Island... Welcome back!!

Re: Jcap
Storm,
You may be speaking of Lightspeed (John D.) He rigs a lot of the Superboats too.
Jcap,
The 21st of May sounds great! we should start a new thread, "Early Season Run to Claudio's". If you don't get to it in a few Days, I will...
