What drive are you running. I think a 500hp supercharged motor would run better then a 500hp turbo motor. A turbo just doesnt seem that paractical. When the boat comes out of the water (which it will because of the speed your pushing with a turbo 350) you have to let off the throttle. Once the boat enters the water, youll be waiting for the turbo to spool back up to peak HP.
