I saw a post from flash32118 in another thread. His comment says 24 Superboat 750 H.P.

I'd like to hear the scoop on this boat. I couldn't imagine having 750 HP in my boat!

There is an older 24' out on LI that has a JC Perf engine, short drive, and 6 blade H prop that reportedly runs over 100mph...
Could this be the boat?
Zup knows the scoop with the one on LI.

His profile says somewhere in FLA.

Step or straight bottom 750hp is a LOT of power for the 24! You guys have any knowledge of how the 24 reacts to a shorty?

Flash is JCs brother (hope he doesnt mind me tellin that)

Superboat John (JC) or
JC Performance Jeff?

Either would make sense...

JC Perfs brother. Tim Cropper is Flash ... lives in Daytona .. hes the nicest of the Cropper brothers (lol)

750 is an insane amount of power for a 24' for sure.

I believe that the prop shaft depth on our boats from the factory is right on the money for 3 and 4 blade props.
It is too low for a 5 blade or 6 blade though.
I ran Gary H's 5 blade and had to trim real high to get the boat to run fast. T-Mone runs a P5-X on his Pantera and does loose speed from having to trim real high. The 5 blade is the ticket in the rough for sure.
My guess is that with a shorty and a 5 blade Hydro P5-X on the our boats would run real fast and handle awesome...

Do you think there is any repercussions drive wise when trying to push a 5 blade prop with an older stock bravo when already pushing around 500hp and 500 lbs/tq? I am thinking the 24's might be light enough that it wouldn't be a problem but I would be a little nervous. Pat does T-Mone any beefed up drive internals?

T-Mone ran 575-600HP thru a stock Bravo 1 for 3 years without a problem. He drives/runs as hard as anyone I have ever seen. This year T is upgrading his drive though.
I don't think a 5 blade vs. 4 blade vs. 3 blade is going to make that much of a difference.
