VICIOUS CAT WAS THE 31 THAT HAD SIDE BY SIDE SEATING.
IT WAS A PAIN TO GET IN AND OUT OF...YOU HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE SEAT.

CALL MERCRUISER WITH DRIVE NUMBER, TRANSOM NUMBER( GYMBALS AND HOOK UPS) AND ENGINE NUMBER.
THEY MAY HAVE COME OFF ANOTHER BOAT OR HAVE NEVER BEEN REGISTERED AT ALL.
MY 31 WITH 500 HP RACING ENGINES NEVER SAW 90 MPH. THAT BOAT WOULD HAVE TROUBLE HITTING 72 MPH.

lucky!
I have Gen 6 Big Block Blower motors making 750 hp each on 93 pump gas with IMCO extention boxes and IMCO Shorts and 5 blade herrings making 105 at 5000 rpm- I spent a lot of $ to make the lead sled heavy mother do the 100mph trick- you r lucky to get 95 with your rig-

JB you have spent the time AND coin to go that fast. And it will/should for a long time to come. It's amazing what we do to make these things a little faster.

I don`t think your motors make a REAL 750HP! Did you have them on the dyno?

YES! of course I did- six hours each to set up and dial in- and the actual max HP i got was 735 but why be picky? HP depends on a lot of ever chainging factors such as air temp- ambient pressure and boost. Hell I could make 1500 HP if I wanted to! My engine life expecency would decline dramiticaly if I did use that much boost but it is possible to do it if I did not care about the motor longevity!
