I ran a 23 Chopper on this boat once, it seemed very fast. Had tons of slip when I would punch it from 30 to WOT, but when it got there it seemed harder to control. Prop had one bent ear also.

The inline six was know as the Tower of Power and the V-6 was the black MAX .

I ran a 23 p ss and was not happy with it at all . I found the old aluminum 21p in a box of stuff I had got with the boat and put that on there and it did just what I wanted it too (I had mine out on the water this afternoon)
Cool glad you got her wet already - I'm gonna wait for a while yet i want to get some finishing touches on it before I get wet this year- I'm glad the 21p did what you needed, I believe every boat is different and has it's own personality so each set-up and performance might be a little different. We all try to build out toys for our individual needs

I thought that both the line-6 and v-g were both called Black Max's--- but I was wrong I'm not always right lol but willing to learn
