I remeber what you told me you wanted for it:D, and I still think about it. hmmmm after talking with you, these are your 588's 650 hp I'm saying 84-86 depending on the water. Your light layup will definatly help it. Do you have the 3's or the 3 A's on it now?

My bet is 85 full of fuel. 87-88 with a light fuel load. Ours would run 82 full fuel, 83-84 light fuel, wet 6#s(hp hogs) mounted about 3/4 inch to low with 650 hp single carbed 572's. Those really light lay-ups are pretty quick.

85, your speedo read 86 that day in a nice chop.
But you should be doing this run w/ the 800s.

btw, if a cig mistress is a great boat if your 6ft or less, how short do you have to be for a 27sport? :D

look at the picture of me in biscayne bay taken by marc berman of bam in 1978...boat looks like a pair of socks on me. but in the 27 sport you can drop the floor 8 or so inches........
