Some photos of my 29

Thanks! The boat always gets compliments wherever we go. I have had it gps 70 with a buddy of mine with half fuel and very light chop. I was very torn on the twin small block / single blue motor dilemma. I know the blue motors run around 5 mph faster, but in the long run the dependable nature of the 350 mags was most attractive. Also, I really enjoy learning how to "back in" the twins at the dock. I have a buddy at my marina who has a 525 in his 29. He loves how fast mine gets on plane.... In a matter of seconds at 3k rpms. all 29 setups are bad a** but I'm super happy with the way that thing runs.

Your probably close on the 75mph. I don't know if the 6.2s are much faster than a few mph or so. They are only 20 hp more per motor I belive. I think the 6.2 was the small blocks they offered in the 03/04 and newer boats. Anyone know how much increase I would see with stainless marine or upgraded manifolds? I will replace manifolds next season an didn't know if they were worth the big $$$ upgrade over replacing the factory mercs.
