Thanks. I'll know better next year after I get more comfortable with it. It's a big move up for me I had a 24 outlaw for many years so this is a whole different monster!

That I can't help you with too much. I have 700hp per side on my boat, mind you it is staggered and I am between a 32 and a 34 pitch 5 blade. I turn my props in but I think yours turn out on a 35. I would talk to a prop guy and give them all your specs.
Just a word of advice.
I see you came out of a smaller Baja into this. Take your time learning this boat. I am close friends with the former owners and manager of Typhoon Marine who were one of the biggest Donzi dealers in the world for a number of years. They sold a number of 35s and ran one for a whole summer with 525's. That boat ran low to mid 90's and was a blast. However it became a handful at the top end. It is a real driver's boat over 90 so get to know it and take it slow. You will also see how efficient the hull is when you pull the throttles back and the boat keeps skimming along for a few more seconds before it slows down.
Was your previous boat a stepped hull?
Just a word of advice.

Rick Merrola from AquaMania put the ilmor's and IMCO's together in 2007. The boat is a 2006. After I test drove this it was so different than the other boats I test drove I had to have it.

Take one of Tres classes, you will learn so much about how your boat works and you'll walk away a much better, more confident driver! Congrats, it is a beautiful boat!
