2002 46 Black Thunder 750hp Merc 575's 5psi (No cooler....yet), Engines built by Jim Valeko and Tyler Crocket.
Imco SCX-4 just installed! They look AMAZING on Ryans boat (and thats from a Arneson fan!) But I love ALL surface drives!
Boat belongs to Ryan. (Ryan9154) He is relaxing with a cold one right now after installing these and asked me to post.
Will post numbers, specs, measurments, etc as soon as possible. Not much more to report besides sharing some pics! Come see it run in person at Boyne Thunder Poker run!

I cannot wait to see this run and hear the numbers. As far as I know, this is the very first ever....
Can we get some straight-edge pics with the drives trimmed horizontal to the bottom to document height with the performance numbers?Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

03-28-2012 07:29 AMI can't wait to hear about handling and speed numbers.....
Some are telling me I should switch to 5"s from the 3A's to raise the X and get better speed and handling. This is the closest test I know of....Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
