The ported out Johnny really does sing. The best speed I saw yesterday was 87mph. Not superfast, but pretty good for the heavy OMC. Right now I'm turning a 27 SRX, but at 64-6500 rpm, it's not quite enough prop. I'm going to be looking for a 29 or 30 pitch for next year, and hopefully break 90. The addition of 2.7 heads (which I just bought) to get the compression up to 135-40 lbs., and a hydraulic jackplate should do the trick. Just ran out of cash this season.
