How fast 1979 25.5 Formula Liberator
1979 Formula 255 Liberator. Twin 350/260HP Carbs W/Alpha Drives.
Does anyone remember how fast these boats ran with twin stock 260 alphas with good SS props.
I'm thinking 55 MPH tops with no gear and light fuel.
No tie bars on the out drives!
With twin 300hp maybe 60 ish before it starts walking all over.
What do you guys think?

I think you are about right with the 55 mph.

255 Liberator is big ,tall , heavy beast with some built in hook in the hull,
it is more of a cruiser with a somewhat sporty look,
I would be surprised if it ran faster than 55mph with twin 350s stock.
