How fast on GPS (280)?
 
Looking to see what speed, prop, and HP 280 are getting on GPS...I have 640hp, labbed prop and getting 82mph with 2 up....is that average?

That seems slow. What pitch prop? Whats 2 up?

I think he means 2 people Tom. That does seem slow..... I can do that with 550HP, 2 people, and some gas in a VR-1.

28T Can you get me a pic of the engine bay, sounds like mike did a nice job on the engine, pushing you up to 104. What prop and drive are you using. Mike said he had a 32P with an XR drive. Thanks 28t
Mike

Here are some pic's of Garys motor on the dyno. Sorry I could not find the ones of it in the boat. He is running a 5 blade now but he has also run 104 with the same pitch bravo 1.

Mine runs 96mph with a little over 900hp and a 32 labbed bravo 1.

Sick Stinger 09-11-2007 06:16 AM

Hey mark is that propped right or do you still have more to go. i was talking to mikes 280 and he said he was running a 32 off the rev limiter so he had more motor to go running mid 90's im hoping mid 90's if not to break the triple mark
Mike

VelocityMark 09-11-2007 07:46 AM

There is probably a prop out there that I could run faster with but I have not found it. I'm turning mine around 5900rpm.

Sick Stinger 09-11-2007 10:35 AM

THATS SOUNDS GOOD I HAVE A 36p COMING TO ME TODAY 4 BLADE BRAVO

Sick Stinger 09-11-2007 10:36 AM

Nice pics mark, Gary what are you running for a motor is that the 540's the Mike has been building. What are you running for boost carbs and valvetrain. Motor looks nice
