top speed
 
what is the top speed you should expect from a 36' baja outlaw with twin 502 mags 24p 4blade prop 1/2 tank of gas on a light chop? anyone out there getting better than 63.9mph gps? is there more speed there that i'm not tapping into ? don't want to put prochargers on just yet. thanks for your help:evilb:

What is your maximum rpm attained?? Sounds like you are close to where you need to be. Remember the 36 is a big heavy hull so it will take alot of power to go significantly faster. I speak from experience.

If it has 502 MPI's in it, it's probably before Baja
raised the X dimension on those, and the 4 blades
may be costing you a couple mph up top.

I remember seeing boating mag test one back in
98' or so W/502's and it ran around 67, and it had 3 blades.

This time of year ( heat and humidity) is also not
best for getting max perf. out of them.

I'd kill to be only 3 mph off my best top speed
at this time of year:D a couple of weeks ago
It was - 10:eek:
