neat boat...these boats very sensitive to water conditions at speed...have a 253 that runs over 80, that boat should run over 90 with all the planets aligned, you might try a pair of 4 blade good props and see what that does for handling...thats a lot of power and weight in the stern for a 28....interesting what you can get out of it...looks like was a factory set up with the dished engine hatch...never heard of one with that power...good luck Rob

90 would make me VERY happy, looking forward to getting the boat out next weekend.

Drives have the 1.36 gear and props are 24p ...boat comes out of the hole super easy, I will be changing the props up to find some top end eventually.

There was one other twin 525sc 283 Convincor boat discussed on the Checkmate site aa couple years ago. I think it was black. That is a very unique boat and 525sc engines are very good. They do love 92+ fuel though. Mine runs best on Shell 93. My friend tested some and it had less ethanol in it than the other brands .

Edit. I found a thread on this boat or the exact twin on Checkmate-boats.
