is 23 outlaw with MAG really a 70mph boat?

Probably not because the boat is kinda heavy and has a deep drive. Did he suggest a 4 blade? I think he likes the revolution 4 blades for boats like yours.

I was spinning a 24p Bravo labbed on my 95 272 with 502Mag@70mph on GPS(here we go with the BS again) I know Smurf is spinning a 26p stock Bravo on his 272 with HP500 running 72mph on GPS

If that boat runs about 62-64 with a 496HO, 68-70 would be in the ballpark for the 500HP eeh? And a 23" @ 5200 with 10% slip is 68 mph. So my guess is 70 @ 5350 rpm's, just to make it round, and that is both with/without hangover

He got the best speed from a 26p Bravo from what I was told. I know he was spinning your prop, but honestly I think Fleg thought the same thing as most people do because it has cup in it it raises the pitch and it really doesn't.

I find that hard to believe if its stock. My buddy AJ and I raced a 232 islander with a 502 with two guys and their wives in my 20ol/260mpi with my "slow" 21p Mirage+ (56mph) and I flat out raped the islander. He'd claimed to his buddy that his boat went 70+mph too though
