I coulda sworn we covered this...maybe a few times.
28 AT w/496HO =65mph
28 AT w/500efi = 71mph
28 AT w/ 525efi =75mph
28 AT w/t350mags =72mph

Default 496 ho speed

Never got past 63 mph when I had the 496 HO, swapped to a 525 efi and saw low 70's.



Back up for sale 2005 AT w/ 525EFI

WOW! I know the 28 AT is "tough" to push past 70 with stock power....I have first hand experience. But, did you experiment w/props? I gained alot by switching brands, labbing, trimming diameter, and sending back AGAIN to Throttle Up for "fine tuning"
Just a thought;

The new ones will turn 65 with the 496HO. They can be layed up a little lighter now with updated products.

dlang, what colors do you want on yours? Drop me a line.

Do yourself a favor and stop your boat search with AT. They are sick boats, best 28' boat still made today. I have owned a 28 Nordic and Checkmate and the AT blows both of my boats away in the big water. Let Brian (Sydways) hook you up. You will not be disappointed!
