Default Checkmate speeds

I'd like to know what top speeds owners are seeing and what their models and configurations are. Sound off!

2000 259 Convincor 72mph GPS with low fuel and 1 person on boat (454MAG 461HP 26 Bblades labbed prop). I am looking forward to seeing what this boat will run w/ 600HP. Hopefully we will find out in 2009!

My buddy has a 240zt sport. Fuel inlected 454mag with Stainless Marine exhaust. 23p mirage-plus, It'll do 67-68 anyday, best 69.6mph. super reliable and he can pull it with a 1/2 ton. He loves it!
