A 525 29 might see 82 on a 28" B1 prop in perfect conditions. There are some non-reliability-killing mods that can be done to that motor that can get you the power of a 575 while still running on 87 octane. My last 29 had some of this done and was able to turn a 30" Hydro last year but I never completed testing. There was something up with the motor that I had to get fixed........Put it to you this way, it ran 79.5 on 7 cylinders last winter! Never got back to testing after it was fixed because the heat had come back, but we (the engine builder and me) were thinking about 86 could be done on that engine, but someone wanted to buy it a while back, so I seized the opportunity and sold it. I can't publicly say on here who did the work, (because they have asked me not to) but if you're wanting more speed...........they are the ones! PM me if you're interested and I'll send you my cell number. PS: I kept the 30" LH Hydro prop as well and it's for sale.

PPS: you can't PM!!!!
