I would say Teague 1000, Peto 920, PFaff, GT or someone else reputable that will build you a 1000+ hp motor; I think it will take that much to turn those numbers...Talk to Infomaniac on this board for advice on that big of a motor. Also, the lowest drive I would go with for that horsepower would be the Imco 4x4, or if you are dripping money go with the Merc #6 and be a little safer..Good luck, and don't forget the Lifeline vest.. :)

if you got heavy pockets i would just get an 32 with twins,you can get something thats going to be alot more reliable no drive issues.similar to charleys dcb.no blowers, big cubes will last forever.do they put twins in there 29?

Havasubum, You're going to need alot of HP to get that speed. I believe Brads boat(owner of force) is just at 1000HP and hes running about 105. I just got back from Parker and it was running great. You can put twin small blocks in the 29 but Im not sure what you would accomplish as it has not been done yet. Also that imco 4*4 would probably do the trick but I have not heard to much feedback on the drive yet. Has anyone else heard anything on that drive???
I think Boatnam hit it on the head though. Why not step up to the 32 and put twin naturally aspirated in that puppy or put twin small blocks in the 29 and be one of the first on the river with a setup like that. But hey whatever floats your boat! :D

Parker was awesome. I had a kickass time. How can you beat this weekend. Flew out to Parker from John Wayne at 4pm friday arive at parker at 5:15 in the water by 6pm. Pull up to Foxes at 7pm and party the night away. Saturday fish in the morning(didnt catch sh*t), boat all day with a visit to the bars throughout the day and a nice barbeque on the deck overlooking the river. Brads place is on Riverside drive right on the water next to Misty Rain(Pornstar chick). You can't miss it. Next time I go out hopefuly you guys could come by for a beer. Oh yeah on the water this morning until noon then 12:30 on a plane and now Im home. Gotta love that!

Im not exactly sure where Brads place is address wise. I just know how to get there. If you're coming from Parker airport you turn right on Riverside drive and go about a 1/2 mile down on the left hand side. Most any weekend you'll see his boat Parked in front it says Force really big on the sides. His neighbor has a skater with twin outboards on the back. And from what he tells me his other neighbor just bought a 29 DCB with a 1200HP single engine. I think its the run getting rigged right now. So if you know these guys you know where Brad lives.
That was my first time flying with him and his pilot to Parker as I really hate small planes. I think I may have to reconsider though as it was a piece of cake. I'll let you know next time I go out.

Opppsss, My bad, when you are coming from the airport in Parker you make a left on Riverside drive. Anyhow its a bitchen pad on the river. Probably about 3000 SQ.
Boatnam, When do you get an answer on the pad??
Charlie where is Mojave valley??

havasubum, I should be taking delivery of my 29 this friday-13th. It has a 540 which is making 640hp n/a but will have the blower strapped back on as soon as i pay the difference on the insurance. With the blower I am just above 1150hp and they say that should put me around 110-115. I did not known about the imco 4x4 drive before I order but there was not much info out yet. So I went with the b-max. I wanted to run a #6 drive but was talked out of it by force.. Wish I had done that. So come around the begining of july the blower should be on and if that is not too late I will let you know if 1150hp will get you there. Good luck-KELLY

Boatnam, Goodluck with the place. I hope you get it that way I can come visit! :)
Charley how do you like the area you are in??
Hustler, Man thats alot of ponys you'll be pushing. The Bmax drive should handle it. I think someone else recently had a bmax setup at Force but it slowed the boat down considerably. You might want to ask them about it. Im not sure about the reasoning behind the whole thing. I do know they changed the drive to an XR from the Bmax and the boat picked up about 10 mph. goodluck with you boat.
