Well thats the thing.
The current setup is 1.36 gears w/ 36 pitch Bravo's
I am able to borrow a set of 1.24 gears for a speed run and I think I will be getting a set of the Hydromative 5 blades
The 5 blades have been doing very well with high x-dim.
with the 36 4 blade I had quite a bit of slip. I am hoping the 5 blades are better.

Inputing your past setup into the computer, with new motors it comes in at 152 mph.
When you read that article about the 144 pass they did not know at what RPM they were at when they got that speed. After they set that record both driver (Bob Teague???) & the article writer both said they did not want to try again. Boat may run good at 131 but at 139 it may take off. Has anyone had a 28 faster???
Do I want to ride with you @ 151? NO, I will just sit on side, & watch.

Cobra, I don't know the exact wieght of the boat, but I don't have anything in the cabin, and the interior is all light.
1.36 36pitch 6000 rpm was 131mph
I have both the dyno sheets for my old motors and the new one's.
what info do you want?
I only have the numbers from 3000-6000 on the new motors.

Nice Curves!.. Talk about a flat TQ curve.
If I use your old data there is 15% slip and new engines=142.5mph.
If I use light cat (6000lbs) and 5% slip, new engines=146mph.
(1.26/34"/5850rpm)
or 145mph with 1.36/36"/5942rpm.
Same ol' thing --TEST and TRIAL.
