    hi i feel like i am going crazy! i have a 26 daytona with a 500 hp. i run right around 80 mph. like most of us i want to go faster so i decided to trade motors and some cash for a 502 with a supercharger 625 hp. the dealer called me and said it was running 83mph. 3 mph for 125 hp and alot more torque what am i missing? i thought it would run at worst case 90mph he told me they doubled checked every thing and all was good my question to you is what do you think 2001 26 daytona with 625 hp should be running i know of a gut that runs onw with a 575 and he runs over 90mph any advise you would have would be greatly appreciated thanks

    why would you trade out an HP500 for a 502 supercharged... instead of just putting a blower on your HP?

    i didnt because of cost. but now i may 1 problem the engine guy isnt sure if i go up to 700 hp that is a 200 hp increase over my hp 500 that i will run over 90 mph with the stock hp 500 i was running 80 mph i thought i would run almost a 100mph but he said no way what do you yhink

    I have always been under the impression it takes at least 750hp to get a 25-26 Daytona to triples. I would guesstimate low 90's with the 625 using a
    28-30 pitch labbed prop (with 1:50's).
    Aggrivating, isn't it! Good luck making it run.

    we tried all different lab finished props 28 to 34 pitch. top speed with 3 people was 83 mph i thought it should go atleast 90 mph so now we are talking about adding a pro charger to my hp 500 and it would be 700 to 720 hp i thought it would run close to 100 mph but the engine guy isnt sure it will hit 90 mph the only thing i can figure is when we ran the 625 s/c i dont believe that it really puts out 625 i think more like 525 or 550 that is the only reason i can find to explain why i am going so slow

    What drive gear ratio?? I mean thats probably NOT the problem but I'm curious.... also...what are you trimmed at on your bluewater when you see 80+?
    here is the REAL question....where is your X dimension.... take a straight edge off the bottom of yer boat back to the nose cone....trim your drive to "0" on bluewater......where is the point of the nose cone in relation to the bottome of the boat.... This could mean as much as 10 mph,,,
    Who set up/Rigged the boat?
