After making a wide open run the boat was very hard to get out of gear, one hour later at about 40 mph it let go.I'm hopping for the best.The boat did run 116 on gps, not bad for a deck boat.
Are you Sean's Dad?
If so that deckboat is a conquest I'm assuming?

Making Passes in the Conquest!
NICE RIDE SKS!!!!!!!!! looks like Needles~
SKS, that is one bad deck boat. My Carrera 257 runs the same speed right now (on 1160 hp pulley @10 psi) and I finally broke the prop shaft in my B-Max weekend before last. I was on the 6 psi pulley (making about 980 hp max) and was rapidly accelerating from about 40 mph when it snapped at around 75 mph. The Bravo Shop sent me out one the next day and I was back up and running again in 3 days. They wouldn't cover it under warranty because my boat exceeded the 850 hp limit. I was up at Lake Shasta last weekend and ran into another Carrera 257 "Shaft) that has a 1300 hp 625" motor and he has broken 4 B-Max drives and no longer runs them. He has recently switched to the IMCO Extreme drive and will see how well it holds up. I'm going to buy one of his rebuilt B-Max drives that has a 2" shortened lower unit with a nose cone to put on mine and then use mine as a spare in case I break it again.
