A customer of mine has a 99.....he was told 72, claims his best has been 68. If he went out with low fuel and no gear then 72 might be possible.

So maybe just a couple slower than a newer 496 boat.

my '02 has run 73.5 and close to it 72 + or- many times with a full load of fuel and gear on 26's (see 353 prop thread)
It'll run over 70 every day of the week.

Re: 353 Performance numbers
keep that water tank down to 5-6 gallons always!
A full water tanks seems to negatively effect the boat more than a full fuel tank. No doubt 'cause it effects running angle.
