My 02 Vr1 Project
 

Centering the steering, useing a gas pedal,putting the trim switches on the floor. Cant understand hand throttles and steering off to the side of any high performance boat unless there is multiple drivers. Two hands on the wheel are a must and there is less tossing around in the center of the boat. Dynoing the engine this week. praying for 600

Sweet!
I like the look of the VR1 vs. the older 280.
Lower deck, integrated swim platform, and...

Thats Steve K. old vr1 no?

Yes,Steves old boat.

Ya that thing ran good. I cant rem. how fast it ran with the big mot.

Good luck on project, looks like it's coming along purdy good.

I heard 80-85 with 500hp

With a 425 hp motor we saw 82+ at the kilos in North Carolina.
Merc 525 we would see over 87 consistently

Get rid of the linebacker and pck up 5 mph.

What are you talking about Tom, I'm 10lbs under my playing weight!
