26 Outlaw with 525
#12
A 500efi is only 470 at the prop. All merc HP/SC engines are rated at the flywheel, not the prop.

Powerboat tested a 26 with the 525 I think they got 74?
AO is almost dead on.
Mine (the one in the link) has the 600sci and runs upper 70's on gps anytime, even with 4 people and plenty of fuel I've seen 77-78 loaded, 78-79 and an occasional 80 solo.
I thought the 496ho 26 would do 66 or 67? maybe not.

Had a buddy that had a 26 outlaw with a 525 in it and it only saw 67-69 gps with a labbed 26 bravo needles to say it is not worth the extra money for the 525. It also had the IRS drive on it.

Something has been wrong with that setup to run that number. A 26OL with a 496HO and labbed 23" M+ should run 65-66, non labbed 63-64, both as everyday numbers. Did the boat come with the ITS? What rpm's did he spin at?

Did you ever try a M+ on your 26OL? I can see from your ad, you ran a 28" labbed B1, but in many cases it looks like the M+ is faster. Great looking rig by the way

And yes, I agree, that 26 with the 525 must've had something wrong.
525 = at least low 70's any day any conditions.
