Boat looking good matey i ran efis on my p28 and she ran mid 70s. The only draw back was the boxes which became a almost weekly change over. small shaft or big the pressure on them use to break even the main shaft. Frequent oil changes and flat water made them last longer. i gave up and bought a pair of optmaxs. Efis sound the nuts. my p20 ran 80mph with 1 260 efi no problems, p28s are heavy it cost me and i learnt the hard way.

Thanks getting there.to be fair your boat was way over pitched 32 cleavers on 2.1 boxes you say mid 70s I have just done prop calculator at 13% slip you would have been running about 6000rpm engines not even in power band the 2.5 260 will rev to 7500rpm if you had run 28 pitch props I think they would have stayed together also the engines would have reved to 7000 rpm + thus making more power it's that simple.Chris Dodge was running a pair of 200xs on his boat with 24 pitch props with no problems
