Congrats to you and Brian F. I know you guys put alot of time in testing to get it where it is. You may want to check the calibration on those tachs.

And the speedo....and if all is well reggie needs to update his website b/c that boat only does 114mph.

114 mph @ 5350 rpm Now 123 mph @ 6000 sounds about right

Dustin had called me a while back about the upgrade but it was all top secret. Mine are really stock....really I mean5450 rpm stock. Couldnt have come at a better time. It was getting really quiet around the board.

Wow this makes me wonder. How do you think a 35 fountain with 700's turning 6000 rpm's would top out at? I would say somewhere in the 128-132mph range.

That's a ton of power for a 35'. I know Reggie's speacial Merc motors in the canopied 35's were smokin fast when they raced back in the day. Not sure what kind of numbers were ever recorded with them but they had to be moving.
