2001 430EC with 575sci dynoed at 725hp, stock 32p bravo one, 85mph at 5300rpm. Seems like u have something wrong. When mine were stock and tired ran 28p bravo one at 5200 at 73mph. I am assuming you are a 1.5 ratio. If somehow a 1.3 ratio would explain how over propped you are. Otherwise...

Awesome!!! Looks amazing!!

Since it rained all day the wife and I went for a drive and decided to check out Black Thunder's new marina at the 26mm at LOTO. Although it looks like they are still setting it up, the building and set up are awesome. Looks like they should have enough room to do it all. Glad to see they are...

Shane, I would have to say this weekend has made me prouder to be a Black Thunder owner more than ever. First on Saturday we were in the middle of the mad rush of everyone leaving the Shootout. In pouring rain with 6ft.+ swells and boats wall to wall we weaved through traffic for 10 miles. The...

Just received an email saying black thunder is back in 2013. Email sounded like a strong comeback. I'll let one of them post the details as not to steal their thunder. Just glad they are back!!!!!!!

I think you are right about the length. I know the swim pad is longer but not sure about the front. I would be curious to see what all was changed from the 43 to the 46. I don't think there were too many 430SCs made with the extended cockpit.

Mine with tired 575s ran out at 73 with low fuel and 4 people in the boat at 5100rpm. I typically ran around 55 and it seemed around 4000rpm or so. Not 100% sure on rpm. Should finish new set up in a couple weeks. 575s are a good platform to start with. Drives are the only problems I know of...

It is EFI. Those are 575 sci. They have two GM tbi per engine. Should be easy to change layout. I've seen them set up a couple different ways. Mine has 3 then 2 then bench.

Here is mine.

Finally got to my laptop. Here are a few pics. Is this it?

It's had 575sci since new. Just pulled em for rebuild / upgrade. Exterior is white with candy red fade to purple to candy blue tear away graphics. Wish I could figure out how to post pics from iPhone.

Not sure but I think back then SC was sport cruiser which meant it was a tall deck. GT still today refers to a flat deck. Mine was listed as a 430SC but is the ec as in the pic above.

Pretty sure that is mine. Interior and sun pad are identical. I think was Blown Income, then Baaad Thunder, now Thunder Struck.
