have a rio with a m5 motor in it and I want a hull and hardware ready to rip,need to be quicker then the rio runs 55MPH on the gps thanks for your help

Try a sprint cat or a stryker f41 cat, either of these hulls will run into the high 70's to low 80's with the right motor and setup....

call me slow but do you have any pics or prices for me

dv8raaz

55 mph mmmmmmmmm on the stock Rio hull..... Ive got a rio with a zen and a m5 upgrade and all I can get is 48 mph wide ass open with race trim and stock prop motor leaned to max without cowl and 1/4 tank fuel the guys at the lake think Im smoking let me know what your doing to get 55 ........thanks

I think the Zenoah "cat" record is around 77, and it was definitely a full mod SAW motor, not just a M5, and a light weight purpose built hull. Wally (Tahoe) would know for sure as he went for it this past spring (with a 36" cat) and just missed on the back-up pass. His estimate of 60 sounds pretty good and you would have to know how to set it up perfect to even get there.

I have a 41 falcon cat and have the M5 as well and have done a lot of testing, running the wtc pipe. have used a lot of different props and the best to date is 6717, with a best 51.9gps running the AV fuel and adjusting the strut up and down, to get the best speed, not race set up. I will be putting the 105* header just to see what the difference will be. I am sure I will pick up maybe 2-3 mph. jm2cents.

Good Luck;

well they way I am getting it is, I got the hook out of the hull witch was really bad,the hook i gained 3mph then I did the same thing tried so many props and finally found a good one that really work that was totaly redone and worked great.mine is running with maybe 3inchs in the water in the back it is on the edge,but it ripps i really wanted to go faster so not sure what hull I can put the motor in.

what all have you done to your engine, mike? i finally bought a 1" band pipe for mine. probably going to order up the M5 kit. 55 is ripping for this boat. i'd guess mine about 35 and its pretty decent. no hook in my hull, so i guess i got lucky there.

dv8raaz

not sure been ****ing with it alot but ryan's is stock motor and runs 43 with the little **** we been doing to them

I love how Slider46 says that an M5 engine will do high 70's to low 80's. Sure running high 70's, low 80's it's EASY! [:@] sure.......

Kph or Mph? 70 - 80 Kph is easy, remember to swap the units on your GPS to the right one.
