Anybody know were the boat is now ??
Also like I said earlier not to be pessimistic but that boat would have had to pick up nearly 25 mph by increasing 80 hp perside. for the boat to run 110 with 580hp a side & it would have had to run right at or even a tick or two over 100 mph with its factory 500's... Now that would be efficiancy !!
Most of you guys know I don't post to start crap b/c thats just not me .... but I just don't see 110 mph out of twin 580's happening... & there's probably not too many people on here that would like for those #'s to be correct than me !

It was in Florida, last I knew. I agree with everything you're saying. It was the 85 MPH for $85K boat. Started life with HP465's and got updated to HP500 specs after it won the outstanding offshore performance award.

Not sure how real all the numbers are... i just know what was posted... and that Laz is an outstanding engine builder and a stand up guy.

I totally agree Mesa has a great reputation , I have always heard great things about him & that he treats people very well & thats one reason I was very reluctant to even post anything at all about the claim & almost wish now that I hadn't.... Its just that the numbers don't add up.

Jay's 28 "purple haze" has 650 hawks from his old cig. It runs 88-92.
Funhome, he owned your boat about ten years ago (assuming it is the old 28 race boat with small blocks). I think his screen name here is still apachekid.
