Thumbs up Top Gun went from 88mph to ....at Lake X

AXG3 project is complete. Both Tres and customer went to Lake X yesterday and this is what happen!!! The 38 Top Gun with 575s went from 88MPH to 94MPH!!! This is what Tres can do for your boat, no engine modifications, just years of knowledge.

That speed it possible with that hull and motor package, especially since I think that boat has ITS. Spine Tickler is right there as well, and I am pretty sure he has transom mounted XRs, with 575s, however, he has Whipple Intercoolers bumping up the HP.

No ITS, it has stand off boxes, no whipple intercoolers! It has stock Mercury 575s. This boat has 1300 lbs extra weight just in stereo equipment.
It was tested with Mercury lab propps 36 pitch. Customer will be getting special trick propps, we expect this Top Gun to exceeed speed in the 95MPH++

Not bad!!!

The secret is the stereo, excess wattage is converted to HP when you turn it to the 11 spot.

The extra loud subwoofer also creates tiny ripples in the water which reduces drag.
