27ft Carrera, 509" around 525-550hp ,
Bravo drive with nosecone, 26p Powertech,
fully loaded weight around 6000lbs
cruise 4000rpm 45-47 mph
WOT 5200rpm 69-70mph
due to high x dimension ,
single engine,no tabs,
25deg V and heavy boat it wont even stay on plane below 3400rpm..
for me its idle or 35mph..
Hopefully I can fix that with a 5 blader.
