I would guess 90 with no cabin, maybe 1-2mph more. A boat with full cabin will run 87-88mph and 90.1 with super wheels and nice temps!

Pat could tell you what the Factory 2 race boat ran. That was a 500EFI boat with no cabin. Add 2 mph for 525's versus 500's.

New trailer wheels? What was wrong with the ones you had? I thought they were sharp and matched your truck.

Outlaw ran 91+ on he GPS with Labbed Merc props. No liner and alot of bulkheads. HP 500s. Back then we were pioneers.

To this day no hull failures and it's had up to twin 1200s with #6 drives.
