It's a 32', I have the same one ,similar year etc. With the stock 502's it should run low to mid 70's. Awesome ruff water machine. I have a set of 700hp blower motors in mine and its unbelievably stable running in the 90's.

Obnoxious Thunder,

Does your boat have extension boxes on it? Does it have a notched transom? Does it have a side enterance to the cabin or is it a center entrance? What kind of speeds are you seeing with those 700's? Just curious thanks. Nice looking boat!

Its a center entrance ,no ext boxes or notched transom. I'm still dialing it in. So far with half tanks and a set of bravo 30's out of the box it ran 92 on gps with the props beginning to blow out at 6100. I'm in the process of installing a set of nose cones and Hall propeller is prepping a set of 32's as we speak. The boat can really use a set of 2" shorter lowers but the funds are getting thin.

I'm hopping to get it into the mid 90's with the present setup. The most impressive thing is the acceleration it unbelievable, the gps can't keep up. It pulls so hard I broke to sets of teagues upper gear sets, in flat water getting in it from 4000 on.

If anyone is selling a set of XRs or 2" shorty lowers let me know. Obnoxious

OT,

So then you're turning about 6000rpm's with at 92mph??? Yeah dude--you need some BIGGER props and get the RPM's down to about 5500 or so. You should be hitting close to 100mph---at least I would thinks so. My engines are running about 685hp each this year. Last year they were about 620 or so and I ran 87.6mph on the GPS with some 30' Bravo One props and I was still turning 5600rpm. I was about to try some 32's but my fuel pump lobes on my cams were going bad---it was in November and we had to discontinue testing. I've done a bunch of mods to the engines and boat since then too, so now I'm about to fire it up for the first time and test it with some 32" blades labbed by York. I have Stellings extension boxes and I think I need some IMCO 2" shorties as well.

But you are sure right about the excelleration on that 32'A/T---whoa---snaps your neck like a dry twigg!
