I don't believe anyone hits the numbers they do because every time I am on the boat they are always a MPH or two slower.





Course, it could be because I am 6'3" 285 and always travel with a full cooler.

I have seen my boat hit/flash 68. on the gps. but it was only a flash and back to 66. (either a glitch, or a jump or something)

that was almost OUT of gas, with probably 4mph currnet and 2-3 fot chop.

it normally runs right at 60 with people, beer, and gas. 63 if light and the 23p prop on it, but i run a 22p 4 blade most the time, so 59-61 is the normal speed i can hit every day. and only broke the 63 mark on day. thae same day i almost ran out of gas, running it hard back to the marina on that choppy day with lot of current.

but those days you cant count. casue it for sure is not normal.

Not so, it's all in the hull.

Hey there is always the pitot number. I was on a 17' Bayliner with a 3,0L that went "57". It had a 23" LaserII, 2,0 gear and topped out at 4500+ rpm. The owner still claimed to run 58. Anyone see a problem here

I disagree it's in the setup. What hull do you have 500hp wouldn't push it 70

bajabob

not on gps. the dream speedo it will. i am pass that now. last year i beat boats that say they do 85mph and 90 and i pass them so now i told care how fast they tell people they go!i just tell them my speedo does not work bob teauge put a 500hp 502 in a 25outlaw and only got it to do 68mph!!! he is well know for setting race boats. if there boat does 70 with stock power then show us!!!!i show you mine

Well here's a 25OL with a 496HO running 70.5@5200rpm's need I say more? I know it's faster than that as well because I repowered my 302 with 500efi's because he was passing me at 72mph on GPS I don't post wishometer speeds because people always dispute it like your doing. Savy?



Here's my speed with stock power.
