Correct me if i'm wrong but the new 400R makes max hp at 7000 rpm. Looks like it will improve on the 110 with the correct props!

Well guys the boat is at 110mph. I think thats with 33 pitch 5 blade cleavers. Not sure. At 6770 rpms. General consensus is there is a few mph left but all parties involved don't think we will get to 115mph. Tried to raise motors higher but lost water pressure . was at 1.75 agin I think. This is all from memory. gonna cut water ramps in and see if they can go higher. Thats gonna take a couple weeks to get done. Gonna leave it at Mercury. Think its the smart thing to do. Also ran 105mph with 33 bravos at 7000 rpm. They're gonna make a set of 34 and 35 bravos from scratch cause they don't have them there. we will see what happens with them. Im good with it the way it is right now actually. Came out absolutely awesome. Ill take what ever extra mph they can find. Sure it probably gained at least 10 mph over the 300s I had originally. More testing to come in a couple weeks.

Congrats Steve. 110 is nothing to sneeze at. My money says you can find 5 more when you find water pressure and the right set of wheels. Regardless, that is one amazing Skater.

Thanks for sharing the process. Well done.

Quick question, do you have boost gauges.
