thats the problem, old trs drives. engines are new on the dyno 650, so in the water i would say i get 600 hp each. rpm's i was not driving ill ask my bro he was driving. boat was screaming. im not looking to go 90, not yet and not in this boat. if you really want to know what i got ill find out. four blade stainless props, dont know the pitch. like i said the trs drives kill me, old and heavy. shes got some good power so she moves great. if it hits 70 or over im happy. if she hits mid 70s very happy. if it ever comes where i see 80 again, f---ing great, if not im happy with the power in my rig..if your really in terested in the gearing and such, ill find out.

There was a guy on this board a few years ago that said he had his in the 90's. Wouldn't tell the HP, but said he had boxes and Bravos.
The best I've seen from mine is 82.3gps.
502's with B&M 250 blowers at 4lb of boost. Sorry, I don't know HP, but I've been told I should be in the 625-650 range. Bravo drives spinning non-labbed 30p B1 props at 5600. Cool day, by myself, 1/2 tank of gas, boat full of gear and beer.

I am trying to figure out how much prop I can spin. I am running 557's with about the same HP as you. SSM #3's with big prop shafts and 1.62 gears. The Props I have now are 4 blade 17x24. It ran 72 on GPS, but hit the rev limiters at 5450 rpm's real fast. The boat came from Cig with #3 drives and 575HP. I was also wondering how fast a Cafe with that package ran from the factory.

hey cignificant havent seen you around in a while...im looking toget rid of the trs drives maybe get #3s im not really sure what work has been done to them. it seems just time to update, not for the speed im fine over 70 but they just seem old.
