Re: vector not fast enough
What prop brand ans pitch at what rpm is that at?
What is your set up setback and prop height?
Have you done compression test and what is it at? What is your timing set at?

Re: vector not fast enough
101 was the best I got. I think we were at 96 on that run because my buddy was sitting on the floor with his back against the front seat. I only lost 5 mph with a light passenger.
I spent alot of time setting that boat up. Blueprinted bottom 2 mph, swept skeg 2 mph,Flip up speedo tube 1 mph, light on fuel, 1 qt. tolulene in 5 gal gas, Duck head down behind windshield,.....and so on. Anything to gain that little bit to break 100. That Bridgeport had cut heads also.
