I tested a 292 500 efi and the bow lift was signifecant until I dropped the tabs to assist it and we were haulinnnnnnnnn.

I did not know that the 292 was available with BBC. Is that a single HP500 or twins?

One of 3 F-1 raceboats built,single BBC.Never made as a production boat.

Robert, would they build one?

Seems like it would be a great package, that or a 525.

If I was gonna go back in size and # of drivetrains I would definitely investigate.

Nice quality, single engine, more trailerable package.

No,Rippem.It was an experiment that apparently did not work well.The only one I know that is available is at Legendary in Destin. I really thought they would go forward with the project to move away from the 271 as a single engine model,but it was not to be.

The Fastech stepped hulls definitely ride more level than the earlier non-stepped models. Which means, the stepped hulls have more stern lift.

Thanks Thirdbird, That is the kind of info I need in finding the perfect prop. So if the fastech hulls have natural stern lift is that why I get my best top speed with a small amount of positive trim? If I trim it too high the prop gets too close to water surface & starts to slip? Depending on my drive ratio I have been told that my percentage of slip is either 17% or 24%. So I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to lower those #'s. Thanks again!
