lol Just for reference if you decide to get one with stupid big power!

This would be some nice stupid big power in a BT. What do you guys think a BT would run with the MERC 1350s. Man I like Turbocharged boats. Id turbo the BT like i did my Superboat. But those poor XRs would puk

Jason did you do these mod's one at a time or not.
Which one helped the most with the rolling over below 40mph.
Question my k planes are 18" long are they the 280's?
Here a few shots I had of the boat it looks like the latest bottom with exception to not having the bottom not filled in under the center drive or is there even more?
And if one was to fill that in what would be the first thing I would notice?

I'm still trying to locate the Terminator BT. Can't find it anywhere.

Hey John, the mods were done 1 at a time. Your boat would be the 2nd generation hull with the smaller steps, and the chines are not dropped.

The pics below shows what you would do to drop the chines.

Dropping the chines is the biggest thing for stability below 40. Essentially by dropping the chines, you are giving the back section of the boat less deadrise which helps stability. Also, you are giving it more transom lift, which helps the boat run at a little bit better angle of attack, and it might give you a few more mph up top as well as help you get out of the hole a bit better.

I don't know the exact specs on the 280s vs 380's..... In the pics it looks like you have 280's, but I didn't think they were 18" long. If you could get a better top pic view of the tabs, I or somebody else would be able to tell you.

150's are 12", 280's are 19.25", 380's are 30"

Jason nice speaking with you yesterday. I'm going to put on a set of 380 tabs on before I drop the chines down, so I will keep everyone posted as to the results.
Ordered them yesterday so hopefully it will help with the rolling over at low speeds.

John P., the 380's helped my boat a lot. Make sure they clear your props when trimmed up and turning the drives.

Glad to hear, I make sure and check that THANKS.

[Shallow Minded]

I bet the 380's will make a huge difference. If not, just run it WFO, John! Ha, keep us posted, I'll be curious to hear the results.

You had the boat out yet?

[John P]

No, most likely a couple weeks yet.

Harbor hop???

Depends on the weather we are talking about taking the bikes down instead of the BT.

WTF,


Sax, hurry your boat along so you can make it. 3 weeks and counting

[endeavor1]

FYI on mercury racing motors

[Coolerman]

Haha, hillarious dude.

Also, we aren't putting the motors back in the boat until the new coolers are done. We want to run them on the dyno.

[John P]

Just a update the 380 K planes are a must, the boat handled 100% better.
