Not yet, still at about 800hp. Working on getting the nozzel and ride plate set up. Almost scaired to turn it up. The new pump picks that boat up like its nothing once its on plane.

caution is good
maybe you could just bump it a little and gain longer intervals between service. im chillin back sometimes cause im coming into a turn at 30 mph so i guess at your speeds its gotta be something in that thing cause mine can be stupid in a straight line at 50 .
did you do stuff to the bottom of your boat?
you couldnt pay me to go one hundered miles per hour in my tub of chit
you got some courage and i love the boat.
i bet the gods here have warned you a lot of times
tell us a little bit about squirley moments in that boat where you wondered if ya was about to toothpic it and you?

So far it hasnt got really stupid, unless I provoked it. If you get it up around the 60 mark, pull the trim tabs all the way up and put the jetovator trim all the way up and gag it, the whole boat leavs the water but is still controllable because the pump will cavitate. Now it gets a little squirly if you dump the throttle above 80 and then it may turn left or it may turn right when it drops the bow but it hasen't tried to hook real hard. Im just taking my time on the top end so Ill know what to expect if the engine quits. It really like 60 to 70 mph. No porposing or hopping when you go into the turns just nice smooth power on turns as long as the water is no more than a 6" chop.

Very nice!
That's the nicest airbrush work I think I have ever seen!
Are you the artist, or did you have the work done somewhere else? I'm going to try to have my boat repainted within the next year or two, at least the top half anyway, but I doubt very seriously it will ever compare to your sled.

The airbrush work was done by Chris Cruz in DeLand Fl. Just north of Orlando. I will be on Lake Ouachuita in Ar. at Brady Mt. Resort for the Taylor Boat Roost Aug. 13-16 then it will be in Orlando for the Festival Of Speed in Oct.
