Real nice looking boat, so how fast with a 496 ho or a 525.

If anyone is looking, I have the cleanest 290 out there. All fresh water, and in mint condition. 60 hours. Moving up...make an offer.

CA's speed estimations are right on the money according to what my boat runs on GPS. 290sc 525hp will run 80 if I take all of my crap out of the boat. 77 or 78 with 4 people and a tank of gas.

so would you say about 75 mph empty and 72 mph with load with 496 ho.

Stock 496 HO would be lucky to run 72 down hill, with a light load.
