    What is your boat's power to weight ratio?

    For a little comparison...

    A Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 makes 700 HP from it's 396CI V12 and the car weighs 3500lbs.

    It's power to weight ratio is 0.2 HP for every lb. Which is about the same as most modern 450cc dirtbikes.

    A 2014 Suzuki Hyabusa is .289

    A USAC Sprint car .571

    A 1500 horsepower K boat weighing in at 2200 pounds comes in at .682

    Top fuel hydro weighing 3300 pounds with horsepower at 8000= 2.42

    A 4 door Prius wagon comes in at 134 hp and weighs 3340= .04 hp for every lb.

    That's pretty good! Not far off the Lambo and the dirtbike.

    .424 but it's a jet boat, so it only goes 45mph

    You must have the GORE injection and a few FORD parts thrown in there...

    They don't have a chart low enough for my heavy boat..............10K with 415hpx2, but she rides the LOTO slop with a boat load of people like a champ.
