6129rpm is the number :D

that was with the 37 . Can't what to let her rip at the Suwannee in some cool - low humid conditions .
Are you not propping it to get to 7100 or so or have you just not gotten there yet like me I haven't seen more than about 6,200 running a 34 but part of that is my bravery so far I haven't found a good spot to go for top end yet. This is crazy first boat in 30 years where I didn't get to Full Throttle and I've had it for more than a month. For the first time propping doesn't seem to be about that last mile per hour but more about how good it is all aroundQuote:

Don't forget to mention that you also run your case up in the nose bleed section so you either need the "Holbrook cheater case" or a remote pick up. Brent it the one that told me where to set my current STV/300X up at and it was perfect from day one. Getting the case set back and elevated makes a big difference in accel.:thumbsup: and handling.:thumbsup:

Yea I tried going up last week but something was up with my water pump and I wasn't getting psi had to bring it back down. I put a new pump in and it was back to normal at idle in a tank so I will try going up again. What's the most you guys think I can go without the cheat or boat mounted pickup? I'm at 1 4/8" above centerline now that's putting a long level on the pad levelling the boat, estimating center of the bullet with a mark levelling the engine trim then measuring up from the level that's on the pad to the mark on the gearcaseQuote:

I raised it to 2" above the pad, but haven't run the boat yet at that new setting. Like Joe recommended, I sighted it from the front, and can just see the bottom of the pickups below the running surface. I've run several 3.0/3.2 cases at 2.0" above the bottom on larger boats without water pressure problems........
I have no idea what you are talking about- LOL... nothing runs like a rental-Quote:

Dave driefort ran 138 but did you just say 225x? :D Maybe it was 15yrs ago haha
Only repeating what was written in the post. Definitely not a 3.0L.

He was running one of his Good 2.5's in warm conditions the other day to 138. With the Cool weather he will easily crank north of 140. Maybe he will chime in and embellish a little more.
:eek: Wow!Quote:

Thats fast enough big boy. I don't think anyone could run a five mile stretch of that river and remain within sight of you. Its bad ass but I don't want to loose anymore friends-JMO.

Dayyyyum!
