just went on trial run,
two people 200lbs each and close to full fuel tank
Ambient temp 89deg
Doug was keeping tabs on instrument readings
and engine while I drove
the bad:
prop is a bit big,needs more fuel and leans
out and dies sometimes just off idle
and stopping from speed
the good:
went from 69.8 to 78mph..
Midrange acceleration is brutal,
if you hit it too hard it will blow away
the five blade Hydromotive!

First run after installing supercharger. Doug was taping the gauges as well for reference for tuning later. Hit 78mph on this run. Should run a bit more once we get fuel pressure and prop worked out.

Congratulation .. Sure make it worth while when you get it back on the water .. Can't wait to hear how it runs out once you get it dialed in .. I bet you are happy picking up that much MPH ..
I want to build a whippled charged engine for my boat one day , but those whipple chargers are outrageous on price ..

Whipples are nice but like you said they are pricey,
I got lucky and picked up the whole Weiand setup (carbs,blower,aircleaner,linkage,fuel lines,regualtor)
for $1750 on offshore only . com , had to spend another 250-300 freshening it up but was still
a great deal especially since I wasnt looking for huge power.

Boat sounds good. Maybe I will get to see it at the S.A.M. Poker Run on Lake Travis in May. I will be out there with a buddy in his 42' Fountain I painted.
