When I bought my 26 in 1996 I had Richie install a 454-330 / Bravo. The boat ran 63MPH. I built a 500 HP 502 and installed it, 76 MPH. Ran it for a year with this setup. The following year , I installed a 250 blower, approx 700 HP, 91 MPH. After a few years, 800 HP, closing in on 100 MPH. The boat handled like it was on rails. The boat will be back on the water next year with 800HP or more.
this time I hope?

Bam's speed calculator says:
WGT SHAFT HP CONSTANT SPEED
5300 300 225 54
4800 330 240 63
4800 475 240 76
4800 690 240 91
I allowed for this older boat to be 10% heavier and adjusted the constant because of the drag from the TRS and lower drive height. It's all good!!!!!
