The headers got to go got a set of cmi s fixing up for it they r too loud and too hot,my friend has a blown bb. W headers and its not as loud can't understand y mine r so loud.i could of went ob. But too much $$$ for them got plenty of bb. Stuff around ,building a 540 for it
What kind of prop and trim setting are all the fast 23' eliminators running?
So does the 400 work as a single on this hull? I am hoping it has the torque required to get it up on top with a decent size wheel in order to get some decent top end. It sure looks nice-

I've been able to turn a 26" prop 7000 rpm so far, but I'm working on the setup as my slip numbers are over 20%. I'm still struggling with the porpoising issue as well.
My original thought was that 22' talons and 24' skaters have run well with a single 400, plus a bunch of these boats came with twin 200's back in the day. I'll have the same power but theoretically less weight and drag than the twin 200 combo.
