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?

26p hoss @ about 8200 and 28p hoss @ about 7300 compression is around 145 on all cylenders just built the engine wit the timing @ 32degrese right now prop shaft is even with the bottom of the boat thats where it runs the best 1:87 gears and 6"setback

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.

well i tried everything to get mine to go faster it just wont do it i even took ma windshield off and took my passenger seat and extra gas tank n battery out i would recomed to leave the battery in though it wasnt fun starting the engine by hand when i accidently pulled the kill switch lolz
