Still working on finishing the engine area and the motors. You will see mine in 06. New motors, new interior, new dash, new----------almost everything.

Re: No center pod
rotax454... the prop is 32 pitch mirage plus @4700 rpm's .. this weekend it ran 89.7 mph. I am sending the props out and having them relieved a little to about 5000 - 5100 and see if I can get a little stern lift out of it other than that I am happy with the speed and performance. Does anyone else out there have an awesome cat with hp500's and running this kind of speed or better?

Re: No center pod
Ahhhhhhh. Thought that the four blade bravo would be your baseline prop. Being only generally knowledgeable about the Merc HP500, are yours stock? What is the rpm/peak HP mark? At what RPM does the torque peak? It would be interesting to see a HP/torque/RPM chart on your motor. To see where the HP and torque intersect each other. Your motor carb or EFI?
