This is somewhat strange, to say the least, but I am only a casual observer, after all.

First of all I spent way more than 3 weeks dialing my boat in, Has anyone run the 600 with any success, I havn't heard of any? The HP500efi and the 525 are race proven engines, I know nothing of the 600, Were's your X, did you go with the ITS or a box? what props are you running, what speed, weight? how much gas. Did you get a sportmasterlower? While the motor is out get it Dyno'd

Ed All The Above Has Been Stated In Threads At This Site. And The 600 Is Proving To Be A Winner. For Some Reason You Seem To Have The Fastest Stock Hull Around. Your 500 Is Running Faster Than The 5508 Boat With A 525 And That Boat Was Dialed In At Superboat. Lets See What The Other Y2k Onwers Have To Say .

Hi Guys,
Since this is an open forum, I'm going to give my opinion. You are not comparing apple to apples.
Gary, To my knowledge you did not have Superbabi build like a F1 race boat. I would not doubt that your boat weighs significantly more than fastedys. I would also venture to say that a lot of that weight difference is in the bow. The worst place for a 30' single engine boat. I don't believe Ed's boat has much of a cabin.
Ed, I am sure that you have done far more testing with props, drive height, weight on board than anyone with maybe the exception of Jcap. Your boat is a dialed in racing machine...
Guys, These engines are also not all that different. I have seen dyno results for the Merc HP500EFI, HP525EFI, and the HP3 525HP/496.
The 500 makes like 520HP the 525 makes like 560 and the HP3 also makes like 560. What does the new 600 really make, 600?
And what is 1-2mph??? Is that what is most important??? If it is, then go drive your boat around by yourself with 10gal of gas in it.
My boat goes 1mph slower for every 150lbs added. 76-77mph with 1 person low on gas and 72 with 4 people and 40gals.
In the end there will always be someone that has spent 3 times the money you have to go 5mph faster... :rolleyes:
I am going boating... :drink:
Gary, I'll try to reach you later today.

Gary;
As I said on the phone... slow down....just enjoy your boat.....Its an awesome ride(thanks to you I know 1st hand)...Get to know it and its neuances. You spent an enormous amount of time and effort in making it "Superbabi" Always is someone bigger badder, faster, more expensive. Dont forget you started out wanting the 496... If you sell the boat only by the time you get a new custom built boat the motor warranty will be out... Your confusing me...

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Boats have same layup, yours maybe lighter if anything, My boat weighs 4650 no gas no gear, his bottom had alot more work than mine, as far as I know, the cabin is the same, my drive height is the stock, went alot slower when raised, I may try to go deeper, Jcap had success dropping 1.5", I'm not going into any info on the 600, just do your own homework.
Your not going to get your boat dialed in at Superboat, or in a few weekends. Spend 2 days at Throttle up, if your motor is producing as it should I think it should run 84 out the box faster when dialed in for 2 or 3, I expected 84 to 86 all along. So I asked once, what do you want for it, no motor or drive?

?...... marine reported to me 77 to 78 max, F1 Speed with the 496,
