Don't see how the motors could have even been "broken in" yet for top speed runs, considering the time period since she splashed.

I learned from a friend of my dads long ago, Break them in hard, they run hard. I have never had any internal engine trouble, but I change oil every 15 to 20 hrs, besides this boat has a 6 year warranties.
Rick, are you coming to Point. Getting things ready to leave Thursday morning, bring your camera beers on me.

Its my understanding that motors now break in almost instantly, thats why you see all these engine builders, Innovation included running these motors WOT on the dyno under load with Zero hours on them. My Brand new leased Vortect motor from Innovation that I raced with last year was Dynoed and sent to me still with the break in oil, I was told not to change it until after the first race.

I've never figure out this whole break in thing. Many of the custom built motors are dynoed before instal. I'm thinking they aren't "broke in" when they are making WOT dyno pulls.
