What is the top end mph?

Magicfloat

Normally mid 80's. We had one that was 87 GPS

t500hps

Looking at one in VA?......if so it's 2 miles from my house and looked OK after a brief look last month.

gregsweeney

Yes. The 07 repo. Are u interested in it as well? Do u agree it is about a mid-80's mph boat?

I have run one. The High Voltage catalog boat.
couple tenths under 84 full of fuel, lotso gear and 3 adults in mild water.

Didn't you just buy a Lipship Top Gun?

No, I just sold a 2002 382 with 630hp 540's.......and it ran mid 80's. If Magicfloat said it....I'd believe it, but I too think mid 80's is correct. The repo lot is about 2 miles from my house and one of the best gun/fishing stores in the region is next door........I stop in there every couple weeks to look around at boat, RV's, guns, and anything else that might catch my eye.

I was told that 382 only has 30ish hours and was a upper bay/salt water boat. It looks like it was used but not washed/cleaned like I would have liked (but I wash/dry my boats after every use and keep them in a garage). The guys at the repo lot will be straight with you so ask away if you call them.

Does anyone feel thast thats a lot of weight and HP for NXT drives.I think you woud really have to baby it.

Mentalpause

It wouldn't be a lot of power/weight for NXTs, but are you sure it has NXTs? In 07 the 600s were not available from Merc with NXT drives, only XRs. If it is XRs you will need to be careful, and periodically they will need a rebuild with that weight/power combination.

Yes, last year I bought a 2000 38tg Phil had totally restored. The boat is a straight bottom running between 76-80mph. Pix on www.lipship.com.

I'm considering something newer and faster. Have talked to Phil about a 39 unlimited but also looking around at other options.
