Just found out about these forums recently, and your post has convinced me to register.
My question however is how did you get that boat to run stable at 103.5mph! (that is what you meant?) I have a 25' Convincor, which I'm assuming as the same as yours, or close. The hull is not stepped and I keep getting told I'd max out in the 80's. Running 90+ would be great, how did you do it?

I'm friends with checkmate25, some prerequisites for 100+ in a 25checkmate are as follows. around a 1000 hp , with solid roller, 1.5 gears, 30 inch hydromotive prop, at 6500 rpms , boat, blue printed bottom, raised x diminsion , external steering, imco nose cone, and a 12 pak of beer. bottom line, boat gets evil at 100, superior driving skills required,ie counter steering a prerequisite as boat wants to chine walk, however if you have large testicles and a thousand horsepower GO FOR IT!!

Sounds like fun but maybe a little much for me. What kind of drive?

Bravo drive. John, did you have Imco gears installed? I know you made your stock Bravo live for years. Sounds like you need a custom bent 32"Hydromotive. See you on the water.
