Re: 05' 353 w/600sci's drive height or props????
With the new props installed (32p labbed to 31p) the boat performed better out of the hole and cruising speed #s increased but to get the #s seen in the pic the drives have to be pushed out to 7.5 on the indicators. That seems to be a little far but the boat is fairly stable and is not trying to let loose in the rear. I think that these are good #s considering the weather conditions (close to 90 degrees and the humidity was probably around 90 percent) but they are nearly identical to the top end #s posted originally

I thought that I would post the recorded #s with 32L31
4000rpm 65mph
4300rpm 75mph
5255rpm 90.8mph/wot
This was with 130gal of gas, two people, full fresh water tank, complete gear, and a large cooler full of courage.

Yeah we were down for the run and had a great time. Do you know of a 370SS down there that will run 62, 63? It is light blue. We ran up behind that thing and paced him, he looked and sounded great. ITS 525s I guess.

I think that is silver diamond pearl and belongs to the Chevy dealer in maybe Destin? I didn't sell it,we were working on it while I was in the hospital after the truck wreck and I was not at my best negotiating skills as that stuff was dripping into my arm 
. But yes,a blue motor 370 is sweet.
