Title: Pimp out my Nitro-
Post by: bas_assassin on July 18, 2010, 05:39:52 AM
I'm wanting to make some modifications to my Nitro 640lx.  It only has a 50 hp tracker, but what can I do to maybe pep it up a bit if possible.  With 2 people and all our gear it tops out around 32-33 mph.  I'm not expecting much to improve the performance but it doesn't seem to come out of the hole and plane off very fast.

I have a 640lx, try adding a new prop, /hydrofoil....dont load up on gear, gas, or fill the livewells...make sure u have good plugs, fuel, and battery connections which all add into performance in my opinion....

the only other upgrade you can do is go for the 90hp motor, but in my case that would = the cost I paid for the boat

hope this helps

fwiw, I have more in my boat in electronics upgrades than I bought it for...if you want to go faster, nothing will be as effective as more HP...otherwise, don't know as it'llhelp much with the fishing...

pep it up by getting a 90hp motor for her ~roflmao then get a 23 pitch stilletto and she will do 52
