I owned a Sleekcraft rebel and it is a heavy boat!I put a 454 in it and only got 47 mph with a bercley pump.I broke the transome jumping over big boat wakes and ending up selling the boat without the motor for 500.00 with the trailer.

I dont want to ruin your day but this boat is not a fast jetboat without alot of horsepower and a bad ass jetpump!Sell it and go with a lighter shell only if you want the speed,otherwise enjoy the nice ride at a normal speed.:eek:

There is a fellow running a Sleekcraft rebel with twin turbos on the east coast. I think his goal was 100 mph, and was real close to that. You should be able to run in the 60's with BBC or BBF power.

mjwalters,

Are you running your boat near Solomons Island?
Is your boat the one that is the fast boat with the slow paint?
If so I have meet you on the saint marys side of maryland with my sleekcraft aristocrat tunnel with the 175 merc on it.(red at the time)
If not where are you running your boat?
