yeah it is. But I'm only seeing low 50's. I'm always on the lookout for a bigger motor for a good price though

LMAO, I DID take it off later in the day...LMAO As to HP, well, I figure its right around the 450-500 with a 750 or 800 carb. I have it choked off a bit with a 600. It has the HD drive gears, shower head, and just so much more. Man, it was like monster garage for boats....

Just had a super day with it.

Just a few pics of the details coming together on her....

I never let you guys know how fast she floats....LOL

We did NOT hit 70mph. I have it limited to 5300rpm, and all she will give me there is 67mph. Its not bad, bouncing the front end, but I am sure that has more to do with my skills in getting trimmed right. It didnt do any chine walking, I wonder if there is a differance between the I/O boats and the Outboards???

We were not light by any means, full tank again, 60gallons, and 2 250+ guys, and me, at 160. One yeti cooler full of pepsi. We were on the water about 730am, then promptly spun the prop hub

after a speed run. But, got a new one on, and we where in the boat till 900pm

I have to admit, it was really cool being the fastest boat, including jet skis, on the lake wendsday. Them poor boys never stood a chance....

I also got looked at funny, and kinda implied I didnt know what I was talking about at the local marina there, when I was hunting for a prop hub for the "Bravo 1 24p" for the Wellcraft 20V. Promplty took the guy for a ride after it was fixed....he was simply stunned

You ask about outboard - the boat for sale on Long Island, Lindenhurst I believe.
He's got a racing powerhead on a Merc 200hp and claims to hit 65mph.
It's less than 300 hp, but that's what he says it will do so whatever.....

Another cool thing about the rig you've set up is that it can " cruise " at 50 mph all day, just loafing along !

well, more importantly, does this guy look happy?

He looks like a guy with a V that goes over 65 mph.
