I love these shots of Joe Sauer's boat. This is how we flew them in the old days. Compare that with the shot in my sig pic and you'll see how much flatter we run them now with the bigger motors.

[quote="gatorstone"]whats the set up on your boat and how fast is it?do you think i can get 80 out of my set up and is my boat stable at that speed?[/quote]

The only thing that your boat should have like mine is dual steering, kill switch, and maybe solid motor mounts. Beyond that, the two boats will have nothing in common for setup because the boat's needs are completely different. Do not make the mistake of trying to set it up like a V-6, because it will be a dog. With the larger motor, your goal is to hold the boat down, especially over 90 mph. With the inline, your trying to get the boat up, and get it to fly as much as possible. You want to stick the nose in the air with a lot of trim, if you did that at the higher speeds produced by the V-6, you would only be a crash dummy for life jacket tests.

The inlines make the boat underpowered by todays standards, however, they are a BLAST to drive and are a far more "pure" driving experience. I think a lot of the young guys really missed out on that experience that us old guys had. And yes, 80 is possible but not likely because it would be an all out effort in both work and expense to get there.

whats the set up on your boat and how fast is it?do you think i can get 80 out of my set up and is my boat stable at that speed?

26 small ear Chopper should do it, you'll want an overall transom height of about 25".

transom stand i have stolen a 1977 150!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!140 across the board!now what prop do you suggest and still no jack plate?i have my boat split putting new core and transom in all composite.i could make the transom any height it had to be if no jack plate.my transom will extend the full width of the boat and have a monster knee glassed in the center maybe two more in the ears.how fast is this gonna get me i am stoked!
