    Pretty sure Warren was giving some sh!t to the guy going from 400’s to 450’s saying it wouldn’t pick up the mph claimed. ���� Apparently, he’s now a believer of these new V8’s. Lol...

    Cant wait to hear the details.

    I thought that he would be the first 24 with 450s on it until he brings his big boat out. Glad to hear that he is making them work and keeping the economy going like he does.

    I heard thru the grapevine that its faster then its ever been, (not by tons), but he was only turning 5800 and had a full load as Paul mentioned--an additional 600 rpm with a 35 or 36 wheel and .60 gear is potentially another 12 mph at 5% slip. Its going to be really fast when he gets it right.

    Glad to hear the boat runs better. Any other improvements acceleration? How’s does it float ? Hop any worse? As always stay safe out there.

    Well, that displacement only works half the time compared to a 2-stroke...<object id="__symantecPKIClientMessenger" data-supports-flavor-configuration="true" data-extension-version="1.0.1" style="display: none;"></object>__PRESENT
