it's propped to run 150 MPH + and accellerates like a BEAST with these (size) props!!!!!! It has much, much more left in it. I believe we calculated 165 MPH (with stock motors). I know several folks have "turned-up" the rev limiters to 6800 or so, giving them substancial more speed (which someone who purchases this boat could easily have done if they chose).
We threw away the smaller "rough water" props and are solely running the larger. Throttle-up made this set to gradually increase in pitch as the blade moves farther from the hub and closer to the tip... 39's at the hub and 41's on the outer edge (16 1/2" diameter). This gives great holeshot to plane and HUGE accelleration to stay on top, pulling like crazy all the way North of the 150 MPH mark, with no "lag" to attain the last 5 or so MPH's, as do so many props of this pitch.
The boat is dialed in and ready for a turn-key owner ---- Now we're ready to begin the next one.
PS: selling a pair of 16 3/4 x 36's --- if anyone's interested, email me for pricing (pandakjoe@gmail.com).

i don't know anyone who permits a 36.... and several friends with larger boats don't ever do it either (specifically, a 43 Nor-tech and a 46 Skater)..... and, I don't know of any hauler's that do either.
...before anyone asks, this boat, the 43 and the 46 are all on regular, non-tilt, trailers.

you should ride in it now that we have it dialed..... we wouldn't even let off going around the corners on LOTO now. it is sooooooooo hooked-up (and much, much faster).
if it wasn't a demo, i would lovvvve to turn up the computers to 6800 rpm's and see how fast she'd be then.... the calculator says it would be well into the upper 160's (on 93 octane).
Spina... you should buy this boat and upgrade to something that will FINISH a poker run at 160 MPH without alcohol and all of that other bs!!!!! LOL...... (sorry --- Just couldn't help myself!!!! hehe )

ps: and this is one of the first 1075 boats with the "new" pulley system. if you look closely, you will notice the belt runs across the tops of both of the supercharger pulley's, having the middle, lower, pulley eliminated. that was the one that was having all of the bearing problems etc....
problem solved (or rather, eliminated).

when is the cig gonna be ready???
Hi, Im Dave.. Welcome, glad to have ya.....

the Cig is by far, in my opinion, the best "daily driver" boat to have..... as is the Skater for poker running! I love (and will hopefully always be lucky enough to have) them both. The differences are night and day ---- and both are top-of-the-food-chain, respectively.
Dialing in and propping this Skater (with Throttle-up and Johnny Tomlinson) was AMAZING!!!!! I can't wait to do the next one!!!!!!!!
