Edited above post.
Yeah, I agree. I have a 29plus that's been labbed I'll try but really need to get ahold of a stock 29 plus to test and possibly have worked. I could stand to drop a couple hundred rpm off the top end.

Yes...and it did come down hard a couple times Nick...almost through me out of the boat one time! went right once & left a couple times.... it was when I had to come out of the throttle quick... but that can happen any time.... and I was only running 82 and a click...

I've yet to have it happen, but when I need to slow down quickly I'm trimming in while cuttig the throttle back- think that is why?
I've yet to have to just chop the throttle without being able to trim it in at the same time in all the years I've had her. Guessing that's when it did it for you?
I might have to try it next year in open water at sane speeds to see what it does. Just hate surprises you know?

I posted a couple here in general discussion:

Oh, and I'm going to break down and buy a lifeline vest for myself and probably my wife. We just about always are wearing mustang auto inflates when we are underway, but I need to be serious about vests if I'm chasing more speed I figure now.

Hey Joe, man I do miss that boat. It was a lot of fun... figure out next move is to get into something like a y2k.
If I was single I'd buy it back in a hearbeat. It ran pretty good with that 509...

There is a 24' Velocity owner / engine builder from Richmond Va. that runs 117/118 mph on GPS pretty regurally at radar runs on the lower Potomac river / Tims II resturant. There are several videos of it on youtube as well.
The boat is very stable deep into the 90's but takes alot of finesse over tripple digits.
It's running a blown 540, Bravo1 with IMCO internals.
