Top Speed Update
Good to hear there wasn't a problem with it. I do have a speed question though. Some of these guys are claiming mid to high eighties with 500s. How does this one hit 94 with 415s? I'm not bashing the boat, I'm just curious.
I could be interested in the boat, but we'd have to make a heck of a deal on a trade out of mine assuming you're a dealer. Has there been a recent survey done? Are there any more detailed pics of the boat?

Joined the 100 MPH club this week !!
Richard, my boat has been running great... I already have a pair of imco -2's on my boat, I picked up 3-4 mph, but I'm still using the same props, I have not had a chance to play around with props other than changing the rotation which BTW my boat did not like (I'm back to outward rotation)
just been enjoying the boat
any progress on yours?????

Just installed the shorts and got GPS 103 without problem. expecting a little more when I get the stellings installed but gonna tweak this setup some more. Have 5 blade 30 herrings turning inward with a little toe out which I am gonna correct. got a porpose fron 70-102 which was not on previous setup. hope the toe adjustment helps me get rid of it. The old setup has a porpose from 70-80 then went away using standard imco lowers and 30 inch 4 blade bravos got 92 GPS. I got 11 MPH for 12 grand!
Question: Did you have the motors dynoed? If so, what is the rpm spread between the HP and torque peaks? This is very important on prop selection/set-up.

Good hearing James that your boat is in the water and you are testing. Cat hop from 70-102 is not good. Sounds to me that you need to have some long discussions with you prop professional. A 10 mph spread is acceptable, not a 30. It would be interesting to see what the ext boxes do for that issue. I have been told that our cats (Chris, OE, Awesome, Vicious) perform better with some drive setback.

I will be in LOTO. I will be crewing S111 and driving SVL 10 IMCO. I saw you will be there too with your boat. I would like to meet and see your boat you in person.

Nice, I expect the the speeds will go up again with more height. Additionally the more height will take water off the top surface of the crescent and provide more stern lift by relieving down force on drive. I wouldn't spend much time tweaking now just get the stellings on and tweak then. You may need to move some weight forward to get a good balance.

I have the IMCO 12 inch boxes now and bought the stellings in case need to move the gear up another 2" after I installed The XR drives with the IMCO 2" shorts. I dont know if i need the extra 2" yet untill I finish tweaking the new shortie setup. My motors dynoed at 748 HP and I will have to research the spread you asked about. I noticed in a previous thread you said your boat did not like the inward rotation and want to know more about this as am turning inward now as well as the inadvertent toe in which will be corrected before next run. Hoping to get rid of the porpose. smothed out at 103 but dont like the bouncing from 70 to 102. Tunnel tab? Any advice appreciated. - James 501 590-4745
