Exactly, and Daves dyno is a true number, it gets run and tuned dressed as it would be in the boat, with all pumps attached and cmi Etops, so my 850 tune is really 850, if you decide to do it pm me and ill give you the ins and outs of ordering and what the kits come with. Also this is on pump 93 and we never set off a knock sensor, as i mentioned above I'm going to see how the boat likes it and how it runs, im starting out with stock 30 props and will need to tune it and get used to it. I talked with a buddy that has the same engine and i know i can go up to 9lbs and still be safe, but if it is only going to affect a number on the top end no sense going for that, Im sure a tiger at 90+ will be fun enough and have the reliability.

I am so excited for you I can't wait! As you and I have talked about the X dimension can definitely effect those numbers. I was really hoping to see 100mph. but I am right 94-96 depending on seas and load. I started at 91mph put with playing with props and the X dimension I picked up a few. The boat will be the most fun from 50-85mph. Ok now I want to go for a ride

Looks great Rob, you got some great numbers on the dyno, I just wish I had that much room in my bilge, mine are going in this week, that's if I can get Blue Thunders butt in gear...lol, really, he's the one that's been pushing me, to get mine done... just curious what sparkplugs are you running in your motors...

Dave has always preached ngk so thats what i do. They have been life savers for me with maintaining it, im so busy at my shop that my time is basically zero. Any time anything needs to be addressed dave and his crew always seem to make it right in a reasonable time. That being said being in the auto industry myself i try hard not to be the customer i cant stand... the old saying says cant rush quality.

The leaf blower was broken, lol.... its been africa hot and humid and dave and tom have been in that bilge, no wonder they are skinny. We also ran into the "might as wells" i have to have another survey for insurance and all the hoses got replaced too. Many of the bilge pump hoses and intake hoses were dated 1999 when the boat was built for the calender year 2000. While i was down looking in tom showed me the date codes and everything was replaced. I would hate to have everything on the bottom of the bay for a few hundred dollars of new hose and labor. MDG has always taken the smart approach which i belive is one of the reasons this boat has been so much fun, hard to believe ive owned it for 10 years now. But after seeing all the rerig and new hoses it give me piece of mind knowing that attention to detail will stop the nagging "what ifs?"... also when drilling the transom for the new pickups and dumps for the intercooler the holesaw brought out solid clean wood, so the 15 year old transom is in perfect shape.
