SB Speeds @ hp
I'm considering new power, what horsepower and WOT speed are you seeing on the SB Y2K?
e.g. :
496 MagHO 2005 Hull 72-74mph @ 425 HP
525 HP = ?mph (seen posts of ~82-3 actual with 87 max)
700 HP = ?mph
850 HP = ?mph
At what HP will my "older" hull reach 100mph? (and what are the modifications to today's "newer" hull?)
Thanks!

Thanks Gary, this is great info.....
I'm all over the place right now.
Options include, listed in oder of suspected cost:
- beefing the 496 + whipple
- build a 540, maybe EFI, locally and then whipple later??
- Merc 700
- Ilmore V-10, Teague or other well known builder
So many choices.......so little time. I may have to wait until after this season, but we'll see

No doubt, ff2, but I'm probably going to stay local unless I pick a manufactured package. Delivery and support to the Texas Gulf Coast area probably is a bit much to ask, unless you get real good frequent flyer perks

hey k...
glad the boat's treating you well since it left the tri-state area...funny how great just isn't enough, eh?
fast...i'm not sure, but i dont think a blown 540 will fit in the overhead bin OR under the seat in front of you!

I had the pleasure of buying a 609CI motor from Ron Potter this winter. I was extremely impressed with everything. He is a really detail oriented guy and truly cares about the customer. He is also very highly respected in the marine engine business (all the way up to NY area)
