    Default More Speed & Power

    I have a 24SSV with the 450hp motor and I am wanting more top end, have any of you guys on here done any performance mods on the 8100 to get more power? My boat only goes about 42-45 I wanted a Foutain but the wife and family wanted a wake board boat so as you can see from my post we ended up getting a wake board boat, I love the boat I just want it to be FASTER!!!!!

    sweeeeeeet. what prop do you have on it, and what are the rpms at wot? I would think ya should be able to get atleast 47 out of it. I know a guy who was sponsored by Mastercraft and they put a blower on his bigblock. they had to scoop the clam shell but had to close it as it was unbearable noise. He maybe got 1 more mph but boy did it suck gas and overheated after 10 mins at wot

    plus these boat designs are speed limited so you may be out of luck
    i feel for ya , i want more speed to but for barefooting not balls

    Honestly I cannot remember the rpms the boat was at while going 45 cause it was a few months ago. As for the prop it is stock one that came on the boat..

    You probably have the 14.25x14 wakeboard prop, you could bump up to a 14.25x17 or 19 and get more top end, but you will loose a lot of the holeshot and torque. And my 22V will top out at 41-42 as well at about 5100 RPM, which I rarely push it to.... I can cruise at 35 mph and not push the motor as hard.

    I have hit close to 80 on I 85 south, but at that speed, I am confident my truck gets worse mileage than my boat.
