With A 330 Hp 454 My 26 Ran 64 Mph. With A 500 Hp 502 I Ran 76 Mph. With The Same Engine/250 Blower 8lbs Of Boast,91mph. The Final Engine Combination Was A 509/420 Megablower, With This Combination The Boat Would Run Between 95-99 Mph,depending On The Weather. The Hull Is Incredible In The Rough Stuff.
Add in the lighter weight of the O/B package and 78 MPH is about right.
I dont like to push the thing. I like it running not broken.LOL
I have a drag car to break parts with when I get the itch.
I just want my boats relaible

i didnt buy it, im in the procces now of buying my company out fully so my time and money has been going towards lawyers, accouning people etc etc.
have not been focused on much besides that (and sled season. lol)
Im pretty sure im going to stick with my mate for now till i find me a 30+ or can really afford to have rich build me a 30+
hopefully this ecconomy turns around so i can buy it sooner then later
