Stock 25 Daytona on GPS!
Took the boat out for the first time this year today. It is a 1999 25 Daytona 454CI MAG, Bravo one 1.50, 26p 4 blade bravo prop, boat has 122hrs on it 8 of which I put on it last year. It had about 1/2 tank in each side, three people (me 246lbs, dad 200lbs, mom 115lbs or so) and a loaded cooler. Wind was out of the south 15-20mph first run was 68.1mph@4500 into the wind. After driving around a while and letting my dad drink some of his beverages to empty the cooler we ran it home going with the wind to the tune of 68.2mph@4500-4600. I dropped both of them at the dock with one tank showing 1/4 and the other still at 1/2 I turned back around into the wind and ran 70.4mph@4800rpm . It probably still has a little left in it had I played with the trim more than I did
I was very pleased with those speeds for a bone stock boat and now I have a good baseline. Just thought I would share my findings with everyone
now i need a whipple, xr, shortie, hyd steering

I think there is room for improvement with the prop but I think this one will work just fine until I add some power and change the set up a littl then I will fine tune it from there. Should I see the same RPM loaded or unloaded?
