Yes. The third and forth hull I made with the new bottom both have 525's. The third one out of the box on its first run with 4, 200+ LB. adults plus a full tank of fuel went 82 with a stock Merc prop. He kept that prop, and never did anymore dialing in.
H2O has the forth hull. His hull also ran 82 fully loaded with a stock prop. He has since dialed it in trying numerous props and finally found the one that works. 86.9 on the GPS. Lets make it 87. Whats a tenth of a mile an hour between friends. That was done with John driving and alittle less then a half tank of fuel.
Heres a You Tube video of Johns (H2O scene) Y2K

The 86.9MPH top recorded speed was under perfect conditions out of 87hours of run time. The boat in flat conditions will run about 82-83MPH...

Agreed. My '05 w 496MagHO ran best of 74.1 and runs now (~300 hrs) everyday conditions 71-72 mph. You need to buy one, best bang for your buck, hands down.

PS, yes, all GPS numbers over multiple passes....

Just think !! now you only need a 496 to go as fast as the older bottom 525's
