Steel...Trailer looks awsome. You did a great job. When did you want to come over and do mine...

Busta

So how does she run with the headers (how fast, mags or HO's, props, etc)? Looks awesome!!!

Thanks, I would come over this weekend, but I have a small problem I have to take care of. The engines are not in the boat and spring will be here before you know it. The ladder and the new tool boxes are going to be worth a lot.

I would rather put engines in than do that welding and cutting of the tool boxes...

Runs great with the headers...Has a great midrange punch and the sound is just awsome. I am also running my corsa quick and quiet so I can go silent...
I have 496 Mags with out headers I was running 26 pitch props and getting 69 GPS at 5000 RPM's...

With the header install im running 72 MPH with standard 28 pitch props and 4500-4600 RPM's...

I still need to dial in the props. Thinking when that is all done should be about 74-75MPH.

When running 72 that was with a full tank of gas and gear and 4 people.

Highest speed was 74 GPS alone with 1/2 tank of gas.
Happy with the results and would do it again
Any other questions please feel free to ask or pm me...

Very cool!! Sounds like you need to lab those 28's and pic up a couple 100 rpm's and you should be in the sweet spot. Andy (Whole Lotta Love on TBM, Beak42 here on OSO) has some labbed 28's for sale that have the "baja cup" that might be a perfect fit for you if you're interested.

I will have to send him a pm about his props...

Thanks everyone! Just got back and seen the responses.

Jason,
What kind of gain did you see with the exhaust? You are running juiced up 454's if I remember from our conversations in the past. What kinda sound and money?

30 Outlaw,
That looks sweet! Did you have to pull the motors to get them in? Was it difficult to keep the Q&Q option? Did you put them in yourself? As a side note have you ever tried labbed 27 mirages? I got 77mph on GPS this summer with them at about 4900 to 5000 rpm. I also bought a set of Mercury labbed 26p Bravo's for Lake Erie (in rough water the 3 blades break loose real easy) and was hitting the limitter hard and seen 73mph. The 27's might be a nice fit. If you ever get over this way I would let you try them if you like.

Doc,
It's only time and money...isn't that your philosophy? I would share that approach... if only I had more of both : )

Liquid,
I forgot to ask you why you had to loose the quiet option?

I wouldn't call them juiced up. Just have roller rockers & some tuning work done to them. I gained about 3 mph if I rember right.
