is 23 outlaw with MAG really a 70mph boat?
 
come to find out, yes! just got to take out a '06 with 375hp mag. I was hoping for mid 60's but hit 70 on the GPS during one run. Was in about 1-2ft of chop.

is this boat really supposed to be this fast? way faster than the previous 25's with HO's ive had. Can't imagine it with 425hp. it was already a white knuckle ride

cheers!

I'm close to calling BS. My boat runs 70 and I can walk away from my friends 23 like he's standing still. Low to mid 60s at best. What pitch prop are you running and what rpm.

What all did he do? Labbed prop, maybe some hull blueprinting?

Lol, I should have known BS would have been called. I was wanting to call BS on my gps too. Thats why I posted, cause it made no sense.

Not sure what prop is on it. I can find out later today. Probably had about a 7-10mph tail wind on Conroe yesterday. Hit 68 going against it. Was just me and a buddy (400lbs total), and about 1/4 tank of gas.

Or behind the towtruck:lolhit:

Seriously. 70 does sound like alot for sure. As mentioned before, setup plays ahelluwa deal too. Could the boat have been ordered with a higer x, then blueprinted and a labbed prop? I know it normally isn't worth much on top, but the motor could have had ecu mod's done as well. Some are also looking into drive lube for lower loss.

My point is, that sometimes someone just nails that particular setup, that just works, and everybody else want:coolcowboy:
