Would stock 502's push this boat to 80MPH? I thought it seemed kinda fast, but, thought I would ask here

Michael

No way. 70 give or take.

I thought so too Phil, but, didn't know for sure since I dont have one, and didn't want to "step on toes" if seller was a member of OSO. Seemed a little TOO fast for stock power though

It will run 70-72 with 502's if they are all stock.

He's smokin somthing, I would say 70-71 max, on the "Dream O Meter" maybe 75. I pass them all the time and I only run 74.

I'd guess mid 70s. I run an honest 70 with 502s. 342 shares a bottom with the 33 and I'm heavier with genset, windshield, galley, etc.

optimistic? i thought you were talking about the starting bid??!

jeff i find that guys never tell the truth what ther boat really runs. the dealer lie to me about my boat speed.that boat needs blower motors then maybe it will hit 80

Agreed, especially with no trailer included

500 EFI stock will get that boat to 80 you dont need blowers. It says it has extension boxes but no photos of them. Low to mid 70's IMO

2000 was before they raised the X in 01. When they did that, they added 2-3mph to the boat. 500's might get the later ones to 80, but not a 00 IMO. I'm running ~520hp/600ft/lb on my 00 and I'm upper 70s.

Lots of people Lie about there boats speed, it does not bother me anymore. My speedo used to read 57-58 and I told people the boat ran 60. I used to do the same thing before I got honest with a GPS, I found I was only going 55 :lolhit:.

That boat with 4 blades on it ( like in the pictures)
....not even 70, 3 blades will get you over 70.

not with the power thats it has in it Engines
