For the most part no, simply bolting on a blower will probably gain you 100-200hp depending on the boost unless you go really crazy. I think im around 650 but its never been on a dyno. The math seems to work right though, 650hp to get 82mph. more then that you really have to look at other options then a Bravo...

You should call the factory to see if they would even be willing to put a 700 in a 288. To my knowledge, and I don't know for sure, but I don't think they have even put a 600 in it.

This past week-end ...we have the Radar Shootout at our lake .....and i made 79 Mph ...(79.3 GPS) with a stock 525 .....i can`t just imagine this thing run at 90 Mph ...you need to have a perfect condition !!!!!

What drive are you looking at? I really think you would need 750-800hp to go 90. My boat ran 90.6 (before I owned it) and I believe it was close to 800hp with a bravo 1 at the time. The newer hull should be a little faster but a beefier drive will also take more HP...my estimate......85-86 with a 700. Remember it takes more HP the faster you go to get each MPH. If a 525 will run 80, they usually dyno at about 540 I believe, then at 20hp per mile an hour you would need about 740. I think you need more then 20hp per mph when you get up in the high 80's. Probably more like 30 per mph.
By the way it doesnt matter, mid 80's is smokin fast in a 288!
I think you should do it though...
