RIM=congrats, I know you worked hard to get the boat there. And I know the 150 mark will be an easy achievement considering it should ahve already happened. Now you get to drive it to 150!!!!

Congratulations Wayne. Great pictures in the magazine. I'm glad you clarified the horsepower thing. It really frustrates me that these magazines do these tests, show the good speed numbers and then purposely understate the amount of power that it took to reach that number. It causes some poor schmuck (like me) to take those numbers to the bank and order a new boat, build a motor with the horsepower stated in the test article and wonders why he can't come close to those performance numbers stated in the article. It happened to me when I decided on my Carrera after reading a test article where another 257 went something like 130 with supposely a 1,000 hp motor. Later on after much additional expense, I find out in the real world it takes something like 1300 hp to make a 257 go 130 mph. Okay, enough venting for now. Congratulations again.

Coincidentally 1200hp is what Teague rates their 565 quad 3.3 with dual dominators and Brodix heads. Boost pressure not listed though. Not likely it is 19 lbs. with a 180 day warranty:D
