closer to 65 mph is top speed. I had one with that set up. Its not all that bad. Your gonna have to re-power sooner or later so just upgrade at that point

Don't you still have it in a "clerical" sort of a way thanks to National Marine...

Hope some progress is going your way on that anyway.

When my 96 TG had 502 efi w/ bravo's it was 64-65 WOT.
Procharged 500 efi's fixed that !

PM203,
Why would it porpoise ? Are you saying that is a problem at around 65 in any top gun ?

Mostly underpowered non-step Bravo Guns porpoise depending upon water conditions.

Correct- after the procharged 500 efi conversion the porpoise issue was greatly reduced !

What? This is how Cigarette lets their boats leave the factory? Porpoising at the top end?
