I don't think that's the case. My test sheet says 90 with 4b Bravos and that's what it runs with those props. On the website he claims 100+ on the newer 35's with the staggered set up, from what I see most do just that. Some may be a little quicker, some may fall a little short. The test sheets that I've seen on staggered 35's were right there, even a tick over.

No two "identical" boats are going to run the exact same speed. Build weight difference, Merc's HP variation of as much as 10%, and we all know any two sets of props can be a few MPH off, let alone conditions. I think they put a pretty fair number on the boats and if you match their test settings you should be able to run pretty much the same number. I just don't understand all the BS about all the outrageous speed claims, just not there.

Nope, I think he is a legend , I own one and like it a lot, my comment center's around the fact that real world is with the wife's chit , the coast guard's chit, the chit for a nice day on the water with friend's and a full tank of fuel makes for a diff in top speed !! :ernaehrung004:

RHC

There's a newer 35 with staggered 525 around here. I'm not sure if the owner is on here or not. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance. Nevermind I forgot that i can't post pictures.

The boat can get to and maintain 90 regardless of fuel and crew. I hit the rev-limit @ about 91..not solid ..just on and off.
Anyone running faster with stock ?

You're doing pretty good with those n/a engines. My friend has a 1998 35 with twin 600S/C's[ blowershop blowers] and we did best at 96 [ verified by the chopper above us] , 34P Bravo1's , 4 peeps and 3/4 fuel.
