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...

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.

Motor weight is like 20 lbs diff.from 300xs. Hop is da same .acceleration is much better.with non airated props 300xs wouldnt get on plane non no problem much more torque as stated from others only makes sense 3.litre to a 4.6 with 2 more cylinders
