The flame boat? The last I saw it ran 84 and had the same setup and props that came on mine. Keep in mind this is not in salt water at sea level. I also have mufflers.

I ran the boat with step at the Sarasota poker run when it was brand new out of the box. 5 blade hydros done buy hulls I think they where 32s loosend up. My 390 was real light 500 efi making 565 hp 630 torque. Never got to fully dial it in. Got hit buy huricane charly and sold it to save my business . That flame boat had 6 blade herings on it before Tim in Nj bought it.

Yes, my boat also had 6-blade Herings and ran about the same speed. But, planing was terrible and dock handling even worse. After lowering the drives, it handles and planes like it should and I picked up a little speed. The only thing I'm curious about is whether any of these staggered boats had stand-off boxes. Unfortunately, I couldn't fit the boat in my shop with boxes.

No it throughs everything off . I just talked to Stepp we had custom 5 blade hydros from Mike at hulls 91 mph full of fuel on Sarasota bay.
