As for the motor comparison I belive they are evenly matched. Hope you reach your goal...85 is a pretty impressive number to shoot for.:thumbsup:
Technically on paper your etec with the 1.71 gears and 6100?(or slightly higher ) rev limiter allows more propshaft speed then my motor can produce. This means you can go just as fast as I can on a smaller pitch propeller. The boat currently carries great on a 12 inch setback but if I am running into the wind or on a choppy day I have a very hard time keeping my foot in it. By reducing the setback a little bit I am hoping to keep the bow of the boat from wanting to pick up so easily. Currently I am not nose coned, just a stock case. The only 2 props I own are a 26 and 28 trophy. I am shooting for 85, but I definately want faster ;)
How much weight do you think you saved by redoing the rear seet.I plan on redoing the boat this winer and am looking to save as much weight as possible.I may replace the cuddy cabin deck with baltec or something similar.I realise the newer hulls will never be as light but any saveings will certainly help.I will be also looking at different powerheads as well.Quote:

Very true. Im running a 25 mirage plus, fairly high, no cone. I dont wanna give out speed numbers but we had the slip down around 6%. Its amazing how different boats react to different setupsQuote:

Keith
You, Mike, your Dad, his Dad should get some sleds for the Winter. You guys can stay with us, we got plenty of room. I'll buy the truth serum for you and get it out of before the romp. The snow was flyin here today in Rockland. I think its gonna be a good winter up north. Get some sleds gotta have a winter hobbie
Is there a bar nearby??? I hate the cold but I do love those snowbunnies.....=D I can't wait to get my boat back together and see what it does this time around. Should be promisingQuote:

Ride home from a local car meet last year, 3rd gear runs out in the mid 80's and there is no traction to be found but its fun to rape tire past people on the parkway!
Mike
Plenty of bars, restaurants, friends with houses, and parties going on up there. Your never cold riding if you have the right clothes and a heated shield so you can see without opening it. I'm usually sweating when I'm riding unless its about 30 below. Oh and a good running and studded 700 or 800 will go 0 to 60 in about 4 seconds or less. I think you may like that!
dam man nice numbers! already counting down the days till the romp and warm weather. im pushing to have the new boat together by then. its currently completely gutted, gonna grind it out this weekend
Is there a thread on here with any pics of the progress.
i havent made a thread yet but i probably should. everything in the boat was wet exept the transom, but i removed it anyway. want to start completely fresh. the sides and entire top deck are foam cored, the only sections with balsa are the dash and the bottom of the hull. im probably going to need to recore a small section in the back right above the pad(screw holes drilled into core with no selant. this boat is the definitio of ridden hard and put away wet. supposedly this whole rig had less than 200 total hours run time. its amazing was standing water can do
