Pat the boat is AWESOME I can't wait for more seat time. I put about an hour on last week end. At this point I want the boat all dialed in by Merc. Racing. I guess he will be back next week. So I hope to get her out in the water next weekend. !!!!

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Boat looks great. Best of luck with her. Its great to hear its getting dialed in by Mercury, JC knows the boat inside and out but computers nowadays you need a 4 year degree for. Best left up to the pro's. I did see all the props in the bed of the truck. How did the new product /mufflers work out. Just bought a set GGB's for mine,hope they work like they look.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Those mufflers are worth -2mph. The rep took them off.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

ZZ thanks , yes the boat is BEAUTIFUL and we are PROUD to now be OFFICIAL SUPERBOATERS !!!!!! :D Yes JC is MASTER AT THE WHEEL !!! And yes leave the computer stuff to MERC. REP. The mufflers were not that good. The Merc Rep. did not seem to impressed with that PKG. This is all about the new 2005 NOISE LAW. :( Merc wants to be in compliance with new DB levels.. :(

Gary,
I tried a million times, all different ways to get the videos up and going. When I downloaded them, my picture software (Nikon View ) opened them with Quick time Movie. Now the videos have a .mov on the end, and the movie maker won't accept them. Ahhhhhhh !!!

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Gary, What prop and pitch did you get the best from. I'm guessing the engine may not be putting out it's potential yet.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Tom We Did Not Dial In On Exact Prop. The Rpms Will Change So Merc. Will Open The Big Box Again. There Was Like 20 Or So Props In There.

I THINK YOU MAY THAT GUY KEITH...........DO I HEAR AN OFFER ???? LOL. :evilb:

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Gary,
Just got home. JC came into the shop just around when I was leaving and told me about the computer. Mercury says that the motor runs a conservative CONSTANT computer controlled 6 lbs. of pressure to the charger. Yet last Friday it only had 3.9 lbs. and running 50 lbs short on tork.The rep said he would flash the puter giving you more tork and bringing the boost up to it's specified mark. JC tells me that it's only running 4.2 lbs. of boost. What gives with Mercury ???? The rep said after he flashed the puter you should easily get 4 to 6 mph. I also told JC to try the 5 blades again. When he ran the 28, Babi was only turning 4700. The rep had a 26 there at the ramp, we should have tried it. Hell even give the 24 a shot. I'm wondering if Merc is detuning the puter. Why isn't it putting out 6 lbs of boost ??? Jc said the rep left some more props to try. One being a left handed 5 blade, 26. I wonder if any of the Superboaters have any experience with tweeking puters.


Rick

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Hey Guys,
I have been reading all I can about the new 5 blade props. From what I have read the Merc 5 blade work best when the diameter has been cut down from 15 3/4" to 15-1/4".
Also, they are heavy on pitch. So if a 28p bravo 4 blade works then likely a 26p Merc 5 Blade...
As far as computer controlled engines, they are a real PIA if they are not set up properly on an emissions
dyno! :rolleyes: Believe me when I tell you, I lived it last year... :(
AZ Speed re-calibrated my ECU 3 times for a simple cam and exhaust change... :rolleyes: I should have gain like 75HP and got maybe 30HP... :mad: What I should have done was bolt on a carb... :eek:
This year when I decided to run the EFI, I put the stock cam back in and didn't touch the stock computer. Next year when I build a 500EFI, I'm using a 500EFI cam and 500EFI computer calibration...
Sorry to say this Gary, but that Merc 600 should be tweaked on a dyno, not in your boat... :(

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Pat.
Supposedly the 600 comes " tweeked " from Mercury Racing. The computer showed it had over an hour on it when it arrived. The Rep is saying that the cold water is affecting the computer. We're hoping they can square this up. Talking with Gary yesturday at the shop. Tried more props. It's frustrating.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

see Gary................ I knew you couldn't stay away ;)

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

NOT MUCH TO SAY, MY GOOD FRIEND RICK CAN FILL EVERYONE IN ON ALL THE DETAILS. I WILL SAY THAT THE SUPERBOAT Y2K KNOWN AS SUPERBABI IS A SUPERB MACHINE IT RIDES AND HANDLES AWESOME !!!! WHAT RICK DID TO THE BOTTOM ( BLUE PRINTING AND ???? ) IS AWESOME . THE BOW LIFT IS PERFECT. THANKS RICK. :D HOWEVER.........THE MERC. 600 SCI. HAS NOT LIVED UP TO ALL IT'S EXPECTIONS :( COME ON MERC RACING LETS SEE WHAT YOUR MADE OF. LET'S DIAL IN ON THIS PROBLEM. :mad: LET IT BE KNOWN THAT WHAT I SAY HAS NOT A THING TO DO WITH SUPERBOAT INC. THEY ARE MY WORDS AND FEELINGS "ONLY". JC, RICK, JOHN D.....THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ENDLESS EFFORT FOR THE SUPERBOAT PRODUCT. :D SUPERBOAT IS THE BEST VALUE ON THE MARKET, AND EVERY ONE AT SUPERBOAT IS A FRIEND. :D GARY

BASH JUST GOT THE STORY :o

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Gary
Most importantly, its nice to to see you have Merc's attention and I hope it continues. Take it day by day but as you and I discussed on the phone, keep on top of them...this is a huge investment.......

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Spoke to Gary today. At this point he'll be satisfied with a 525 instead of the 600.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Was Merc able to extract the hp and boost output from the computor data?
