I personally think these hulls handle the big power very well. Keep in mind I have added longer trim tabs,twin ram full hyd steering and giant L-angles with dana solid mounts. Any single engine v is going to be a little wild at 90 mph but you learn to respect when you can run that hard and when you can't,Smitty

I previuosly made 944 hp on the dyno with my best set-up and 920-930 with my normal set-up,I run a max machine worx drive with every upgrade and have a duplicate spare. I have chewed up lower gears,broke a vert shaft and a prop shaft. I turn a 30 pitch labbed 6000 rpms and a 32 labbed 5700-5800 at best of 92.8 mph(running light). I know that if I run the 1115 hp set-up every weekend and beat on it as hard as I can I'm going to be breaking drives as fast as I can fix them so I will run the 1037 hp tune most of the time and use the big dog tune for late season speed runs or I might sell my spare max worx drive and buy a B-max but it still uses merc lower gears,Smitty

Thats very impresive.....especialy in a single engine v that wasnt made on the west coast. Something like a howard bullet comes to mind. Have you thought of surface drives for such a boat? What about the guy with the 30 checkmate and a # 6 on a long azz extension box?
