Default Well My dad Got a new boat...

Well Haven't been over to my dads lately, but had heard he got a new boat, so went to go take a look at it today while he was at work...
2000 Baja Outlaw 33 with twin 500 Bulldogs (540's I believe)
200 or so hours
30 Pitch Bravo 1 4B Props.
Really nice boat,
Just curious of what you guys think the top speed of this boat is?
Being that it has twin 500 Bulldogs and 30 Pitch Props...I was thinking at least 80?
I've attached a few pictures of it..







Let me know what you guys think and what you think that it should run top end

Thanks

Hawkeye boat sales sold that boat new.

I don't think they( hawkeye) ever ran it.

Should run low 80's

Those Bulldogs have alot of build up potential,
they can be easily brought up to the 650 hp range.

I think over 80 might be a little strong unless the 540s are built more than bulldogs are.
There used to be a local 33 with ~675-700 hp that only did mid 80s.
I would expect more like 77-78 or so.
It takes a lot of power to make these hulls go fast. Just ask Doc Holiday. A super solid ride though.
Mine is 71-72ish with stock 502mpis and headers.

I e-mailed Jeff @ Hawkeye, asked him about it.

He said the best they got out of the boat was
84.6 mph.
