What kind of speeds will the 33' run with twin 496's or the 500 EFI's?

75- 77 with 496 ho, 77-81 with 500 efi's

Those are pretty good numbers. I figured they were too heavy to run that good. Also, this weekend I heard a salesmen telling someone that it ran in the low 70's with the 496's and I figured he was probably exagerating and it would only run 68 or so.

A 29 Outlaw will top out at 77-78 with 496Mag HO's...
I would think a 33 will range a little lower at Low 70's; upper 70's with 500's.

SR-24

I'm going to say 74-75.

Depending on the flavor of the 496,
high 60's, to low70's
500EFI'S, I rembember PBM testing
one last year, as I recall, it ran 79.

It also depends on the year, the X was raised 2and1/2'' for 2002 which made them faster , I have a buddy with 1 with 496 mags that runs 69, a buddy with 496 ho's that runs 74 in the heat and 77 in the cooler weather , and 1 with 500 efi's that runs 77 in the heat and 80.5 in the cooler weather, all speeds per GPS

it depends on what year, I thought Baja raised the X on the 2002 and newer boats? I think Liquid's speed is about right for a new model, not on the older one's though

liqiud is right.i have 2002 33 with the 496 mags,best its ever done is 68.9 on gps with a half tank of fuel in cool weather.i run 26-4blades,can only get 4500rpms at wot.tried some 25-3 blades but they blew out bad coming on plain.gonna try some 24-4s next... hope to pick up at least 2 or 3 mph

NOMOMONEY is one of them and I'm sure the one with 500's will chime in to, but nomomoney knows the boats I'm talking about
