Keep up the good work with Formula in Europe

Seems like your prop is slipping quite a bit. 5900rpm with a 28 should put you in the upper80s
Have you tried different props?

I think it's possible.
Mine weighs in around 7500 lbs and with twin 320HP it hits 70-71 mph. Knock off 2500 lbs and an extra outdrive, 80 mph with 500HP should be doable. At the rpm they are running it is maybe a little more than 500HP.

This boat is extreme lightwight
have a look at pictures and see both steps above water line compared to a stock 292
The X Dimension is pretty high and it takes a moment to get on plane but from there it goes like hell
You are welcome to take a ride - just jump on next plane overseas
I drove many performance boats , but nothing in similar size ever came close to the MPH output from just 470 HP at propshaft (500 EFI)
We have a 271 Fastech with a 525 EFI here
This one is doing 70 MPH all day and 72 in perfect condition
Its also using the same prop - 28 LH lab finished maximus
but its not exceeding 5300 RPM
The video ride was shot at sea level in the South Netherlands
