Really like that blue, can’t stop starring at it. Kind of pulls you in.

Good job!

Here we go!! Can't wait to see what this will do.

Do you need to move some weight around to adjust for the heft of these 450Rs?

Tony your team does first class work. I like to look inside out and every time I look at one of your builds I am amazed at the detail. These are not the typical pretty boat.

We went to Lake Elsinore last Thursday and Friday. Only ran a few times on Thursday with a set of 34 and 35 pitch props.
Both days had 100-105 heat with about 40% humidity, not horrible or Havasu heat, but still not great speed conditions. We were able to get some better testing in on Friday morning. Only had a few set up changes...
The boat pulls nicely with the torque of the 450R. (100 more Ft./Pounds than the 400R) I ran a set of 14.75 X 35's and it ran 122 on the limiters, next I ran a set of 15.00 X 35's and it felt better and I squeezed one more MPH out of it and ran a 123 on the limiters.
So glad that Mercury sent a set of 15.00 X 36's and that is when I ran a nice 125 (also on the limiters) The engines are all that and the boat is very balanced and happy for sure. The M-33 loves the extra power.
the temp was around 90 degrees when I ran the 125. I wish I had a set of 37's, I know it has more in it and we will have more room back at Havasu.
I am towing it an delivering it to Greg (new owner) to Lake Powell this week.
Stay tuned all....

Hi Tony, I saw there was some discussion in the lounge about running length. What is the running length on an M33?

Thank you.

20 inch mids on the 450R is so bad ash!

Am I calculating this right, from taping of mold to customer water test is 7 weeks...that is fast!

No that's not correct. Boat has been out of the mold waiting for motors for Months.
