If you're truly looking for a 120mph top end, I would think your set-up would look something like this: 40% overs in the V-drive, 16 pitch prop and spinning the engine at 6,500 rpm. If you could get in the 14 to 15% slip range you'd be at the 120 goal. Probably better think about using a two-speed tranny too.

60 gear, 3 speed tranny with custom 3rd gear, 13 x 17 tweaked Joey Grose custom 2 blade, 6800 limiter.

24 I/O cav plates vs 24 vdrive with cav plates. Let's say they powered to both hit 90 outside of purist's bias is there a significant handling difference?

V drive will handle better at speed and the outdrive will be better aound docks etc...imo.

All that to get 88mph? [emoji6][emoji23]

No...all that power to tow a broken down "Schiada killer"

At those horsepower levels, are there any turnkey engines that arent mercury racing? When I say turnkey I mean start everytime, run with no problems, and only require periodic maintenance.

Yes however maintenance and check ups are critical. Our new onboard digital dash keeps all that in order for you in the dash. [emoji1303]

1478 HP / upgrades should top 1700HP

119 MPH best.

600HRS, replaced rocker arms, injectors at 300hrs. Oil/filter changes every 10hrs. We ski a lot at Lake Mead, 99% of hrs less than 60mph. Leakdown at 600hrs showed minimal deviation, even Carson laughed at the time on it.

I would love to see a #6 drive on a pad bottom 24 with a Brummett TT or a Boostpower setup. It will still be 25+ mph slower than a Nordic Cyclone(Aussie clones) or similar ski race rig.

Love that boat! And you Bructhe
