Great Taste!

***Update*** Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on here for their feedback. We went out to test the boat and look it over in person. Boat is immaculate. Ran compression and leak down tests and numbers were crazy good. Compression was within 3% of each other and everything passed with flying...

Agreed. Best part of the trailer is the drive guards and triple axle. I should see what adrenaline wants for a triple for a 28 heat. Thanks for the input 👍🏻

Great advice on the insurance. 😜 This is the motor. Guy is about as picky as I’ve seen on his stuff. I have a test scheduled this week. If it checks out its mine.

Thanks for the feedback. Everything I hear is avoid avoid avoid but the deal on this condition is hard to pass. I have all receipts on it available and it shows it was built by Bill Delve at Schumaker performance and tuned by Tyler Crockett. I don’t know them but I hear they do a lot of 496...

👍🏻 I’ve read it can increase it to about 750-800hp?

Yeah. My screen name. “wanna go fast.”

Good points. Didn’t think of that. 🤔

Thanks!

Thanks Gelcoater! Most of our boating being at Powell, I’m seriously looking at the Hallett 275. Any concern with most boating being at 3700’ with sci? I’ve read and heard mixed info that the 600 struggles at altitude. Is it as simple as prop selection to solve those issues? I’d hate to give up...

Hey everyone. Ive convinced the wife that our next boat needs to be a performance boat (hence the name) and she has lost her mind and agreed to allow this to happen! I’ve been all over this forum for a while now and I gotta say it’s the very informative as well as entertaining. That said, I need...
