There are some 31's on here with 470HP 500efi engines. I believe they run low 80's. Maybe they'll chime in. You should be looking at mid-80's. What mods do you have planned?

I had one with 500 EFI's. It's best ever on GPS was 83. That was with A/C , Ref. , electric head,. Jimmy D. has it now with BBlades reworked props. Jimmy told me he has seen 86, and I believe he also state that he had to take the A/C out.

if you guys can let me know how to get that kind of mph out of a 31, I would appreciate it.... I have new 8.2 and it runs approx 68mph at 4400 rmp... cracked 70 once but that was it...

bravo 26" Merc rates the engines for 4400-4800 so i am in the range...perhaps some modification of the engines themselves to try to get more hp.. mine have 380 each, so I am sure I can do something to get more....$$$$$$ any prop suggestions???
