Default RE: Enforcer team pro engine upgrade!

Agree ! I have a team pro also with a M-5 and you can get into the low 50's but its difficult, I got a average run of 48 mph and hit 53 mph long enough to get a reading on my GPS but it was about as fast as i wanted to go with this boat. The few tricks i did to get it there was to thin the twin rudders a bit and get them sharp as possible and print the hull from the stern 6 inches. I needed to sand the hull about 10 thou to get it totally flat and then sharpen the bottom edge of the transom. Re-paint and scuff off the gloss from front to back with a scotch pad. Run with a fairly high bow, Very little tab. I am running a prather 270 prop and it's a handful. But fun to run on the edge of a blowover. Keep it stock its a very forgiving fun boat. But if you want to go 60 for cheap just pick-up a good race hull and use your M-5, I bought a proboat hydro and with about $250 and my other M-5 i am getting in the high 50's with a few 60 mph runs. But also a handful of fun.
