Word is out that I am gaining some power this season as planned. The boat ran great with the 502 but was so comfortable at 60mph that I wanted to build something that would cruise at that speed. Built a 540ci 9.7:1 with CNC Brodix 320/119 heads and a proven cam from my builder. Going to run a dominator against my desire an expect to make 675+. I worked on the bottom some and cleaned up all the knicks and scratches top and bottom. I'm anxious to see what it will do. If it will turn a 30P prop at 5400 with the same slip I have now, it will be capable of running faster than what I would consider safe...
Also sitting on my spare trailer with a new full cover!

Sucks to have lost this threads pictures. I finally got the break in oil out, gave everything a once over and made some hard passes. I'm up to 86-87 at 5400. Running very flat and more stable in choppy water. We didn't dyno the 540, but I'm guessing it's making 650ish. The most fun part is the acceleration from 55-75. It pulls really hard through there. Thanks for following the build.

looks / sounds good, maybe some cup in the prop may get the nose up a tad.

Thanks guys. The slip % is really good for an old flat bottom. I am hoping I can find 3-4 MPH in props, sanding the lower and taking a close look at the bottom below the lowest chines.
