Default 36 baja question

Friend is looking into a 36

It has 525 blower motors
Extension boxes

How fast do you think?

I think its a 99 or 2000 model.

Thanks

My guess is close to 80 MPH.

My 2002 with 500's pushes 26 pitch labbed props to 74 MPH GPS on a good day.

Usually when it is hot and I have full load of fuel I see around 71 to 72 on GPS.

It may not be the fastest, but I guarantee you will not have to slow down for any water conditions!

Hope this helps!

Default 36 speed

my 01 with 496ho's ran 70 with 500hp the boat runs 73, with 525's old sc's will run 75. boxes probably dont help speed on this setup at all.

I have a 2000 33 Outlaw with 500hp's. 27 Mirage plus props will not hold so I called Mercury Racing and they said lab the 27 that I would not be happy with four blades, they said not to run them on Outlaws. Had a chance to buy a pair of labbed 26 Bravo 1's to find out for myself. Handleing was great and so was holeshot but lost 8 mph on top end and the nose digs and the ride really suffered.

I could barely touch 70 with a Garmin III+ GPS and the four blades.

I would have to agree with Doc- about 80 if set up correct.

4 blades lifted the stern of the boat and not the entire boat. The outlaw never seemed to get up on top of the water and run like it did with the three blades. That was the reason I lost 8mph on top end.
