I was on the Wilbus Marine 32 Victory - open bow - last year in Havasu for the Advantage Regatta - they have the first 32 w/ Ilmor 625s (older boat) - I believe they have imco drives - they won the LOTO shootout at either 96 or 98 mph - can't remember which. Last year - we had 7 adults, full gas - and we were well into the high 80s - mid-range punch was very impressive - also handled like it was on rails. Hope that helps.

I have a 99 32 closed bow, bone stock 502EFI mags, 1.5 bravo 1 drives- 30p bravo 4 blades. I have my X dimention set at 1" below the bottom, drives towed out 3/8" total and it runs 80 all day, i am a little low on the rpm's with the 30's at 4800-4900, but with the 28's i was all over the rev limiters at 5150. I've tried my friends labbed 30's and i saw 83.7 on gps, at about 5100rpms, but i never ended up having mine labbed. I'm not a speed demon though, i more like to cruise a 3500rpms at 60-65 mph and the hull is very efficient and actually great on fuel, and everyone that goes on the boat is just amazed by the smooth ride of it compared to everything else they have rode on. I did alot of prop testing, drive tow in testing, ect... and i will say the bravo 1 prop is the only one that will get it out of the hole without blowing out, but i never tried any 5 blades or newer tech props that they have out now. I'm happy with it, and thats all i care about.
