Just hacking on you, but is this thread going this long on boats that are way under 70mph? those numbers shouldn't be racing anything .... just kiddin with ya... have fun. BTW I had a 24 O/L in the day with a 454 mag and it ran 58 on a good day..

Maybe you had too many GOLD chains on and overloaded the boat!

I expected that... touche' personally I prefer platinum over gold for the new milleniumm gold is so cliche' now.

But hey I still love baja's thats why I still lurk around you guys forum.

My buddy had a 1999 272 with a 502 and I had a 97 272 with a carb Mag 454. I could always out run him and we could never figure out why. The only reason we could come up with was the old timer I ordered my 272 from said unless I was going to be on Lake Ozarks all the time to forget the tabs. So I ordered it without tabs and the boat never needed them either. I do believe tabs will take a mph or two off of top speed. Long story short i promise you a 272 with a stock 502 is 65-66mph...no more

hey,why are you guys talking smack about gold?i love gold.

Now is that you or your fasha?

dutch hater

boats are pretty equal, it will come down to who can drive their boat the best...

i`ve got a `92 260 will run 230 mph on gps wanna run

I am always on the River,, can find me in Newburgh,, I will also be heading down to NYC for the Poker run,, plan is to leave newburgh around 8:00 go to LL marina and check out the hardware and then head back north with the run..

P.S. I think the h.o. will take the 502 by about 1-2 mph,, you may have to race for several miles to see a winner,, if it's a bit rough like the hudson can be you will definitely have an edge..
