Nice Looking Old School Ride...
Like Rick said Zup knows the scoop.
1000+HP and #5 if I remember correctly.
I also remember something about the bottom of the boat being reworked with a step or 2...

Ritchie has probably the best 30 around. Mark from Activator put one of his new bottoms in the boat. Big V shaped steps. What a beautiful job he did. Cuts through anything at any speed. As for the 5 drive it smaller than a 6 but better than a wet sump 6 for power. The newer drysump six is of course better. But stupid money. As for power who knows these days. Ritchie and Joe are always testing on the dyno. Remember before Mecury racing there was Ritchie Zul. Hes still around and builds the best stuff on the east coast in my opinion.

Being that Mr Zul and Skip at MRD are perfectionists, the boat is dialed in so good that I think its actually boaring to run. In my opinion. Cuts through anything at any speed from any direction !! Just incredable !! My 30 runs pretty good but its an entirely different ride. Go figure. I dont know how it would compare to a Y2K with the new new bottom. No one putting any big power in those these days. Hopefully soon.

He is putting a 775hp N/A motor in it this year.It is fuel injected.The boat didnt respond to more HP like it should of.It hit a "wall" so to speak.It handles great now with the new bottom.
