78 MPH for that boat - Im telling ya
My 342 completely stripped (no fridge or microwave with no junk in the cuddy) with a high X (boxes at 3.75 inch) props turning in and 1/4 tank gas with about about 450HP maybe 460HP did 76-77 MPH.

67.6 (GPS app on phone) is the best I have gotten in mine but I've only had about one hour of seat time. 502s, genset, 3/4 fuel, 3 people. It's under propped. 23" 3 blade Mirages are bumping the rev limiter. With deeper X on the older Bajas I think 25 3 blades will do me good and have me flirting with 70.

If any of you guys know of any 342's that have 500's in it and the owner is thinking of selling, please let me know.
I know of the 2000 with the funky painted outdrives already, but most listed on the net have 454's or 502 mpi's.
Thanks,
Mike
PS: Black, grey, silver, red colour combo would be my preference....

I was really shocked at how fast it pops up on plane. I'm looking for both. I figure the 4 blades will give me a little better mid range. I thought I'd probably be able to find the 25" 3 blades cheaper since they're not as cool anymone.
