    Has anyone had it done? How much did it cost? Where did you have it done at? Any places in Socal? How much speed did you pick up? Thanks.

    Corey, insman's 29' Mag was blue-printed...
    Truthfully if the bottom works, I don't think you'll gain much

    There's been a lot of talk about how the 29's have not gone as fast as expected with the stock engine's. I'm about 5mph off what I expect right now. It's hard to say if there's an actual hook in the boat at this time. I've talked to people that have got 3-5 mph gains with a hull blueprint. Not enough cure time in the mold makes the boat wavy, ( at least that is what i've heard).

    I did it to an 18' jet a few years back, it had a pretty good hook in the back. I dont know about doing a boat that size, we had to flip mine over to make it easier. He charged me $600 to do it.

    that's definitely true...have you talked to Barry?
    Anybody with a blue-printed shockwave other than Blane? He's low 70's with 750HP...
    I just don't know that THAT bottom will have any benefit from it

    Gary over a GT performance says that they've got 2 of them real close to 100 mph with 540 blower engines. They did do a blueprint on the hulls to get that speed. Has anyone here had a 500 efi in a 29 closed bow do 70 mph?

    my 29 Closed-bow Cheetah would touch 70 in the ocean with an HO
