    I hope your good friends with Jesus, because running that fast, your sure to meet him. sooner than later. not being mean here, but a long time ago, I was young also, and didn't think about danger. just something to think about.

    I think a nitro running that fast under a full load in the z8 - you are probably close to maxed out. What engine do you have on that?

    **** 78 MPH on the water in a bass boat is more than plenty. I heard the faster boats always get the "good" spots first, but **** to live to see another day is better than getting to the "good" spot first.

    You are prob maxed out on your rig Nitros are not typically known to put up any big numbers. If you are looking for more performance sell the cookie cutter and look at Stroker or Bullet

    Probably about it on speed for that boat. Engine height or prop change would be the cheapest and easiest things to try. Upgrade to bigger engine(unless your at maximum hp rating) would cost a lot more.

    I think the only way you can get more is to have some prop work done. Mark Croxton in Shelbyville IN can blue print a prop and usually get more out of it. I really don't know if there is that much left to get though. Those sound like good numbers.
