Hey Petro, ice melted? How’s she running?

Beautiful setup Mr Petro 👍. I may consider upgrading to the 500 but would first want to add some more stability to the transom like you did James. I will dig back through the threads to see what you did.
 
Hey Chuck, good to hear from you. Yeah I went a bit overboard with my stability/reinforcement 😁 if I would have seen how CheckMate reinforced jjg’s transom I would have gone that route. I think with the 500 hanging off the transom mounted on a hydraulic jack that a bit of weight and balance calculation and testing will be in order to get the BRX to run true. To bad Petro ghosted us 👻 😂😂
 
what did that 500 end up costing? My dealer is quoting 72,000 + 12,500 for rigging. Coming from a 2016 Verado 300. 85,000 all in. Seems stupidly high to me.

I am currently running a 400R / Sportmaster with a Lab finished Cut down and worked over Maximus 5 with 14" of set back. Aired right out I am getting jus over 85 MPH. I have eaten up a few of these props while surfacing, tearing ears and in one case pulling the hub apart. I am currently repowering the boat with Merc Racings new 500R and I am looking to run the 500HP CNC cleaver from mercury. Has anyone experimented with a Pulsare 2400 with the 1.60 gear ratio gear case on either a 450R or a 500R yet. Looking for a good starting point.
