Two things.
Was that a GPS number. If so. What prop with what ratio in the drive @ what rpm are you running 66?
The best I've ever seen in a 25 is 67-68ish with a 496HO.
It is with boats as with props, engines ect. There is no doubt that every once in a while, there is one out of the mold that just works a bit better. Somtimes, these things just comes together, Really good prop, a good engine, the right hull, well, 70 might be possible. But something like 72 on a regular basis with a 425 hp motor? No way, I don't by it. And I don't consider a run with driver only, running on fumes no gear on a cold morning, with the wind in the back, down stream, sun in your azz, the stars alligned right ect. to be any good. It's a fun, but useless number. As soon as you put 2-3 ppl in the boat 3/4 tank of fuel, gear, food and drink ect, that number will change, and that is the everyday number.
Just sayin'

Yes it was on GPS, it was with 4 ppl. light load of fuel, i think its a 21 pitch 3 blade, bone stock 502 with a stock bravo 1, turning close to 5800 rpm.
All im saying is that a 25 outlaw with stock 496 will run 70, if this dynosaur 92 runs 66, with trim gauge not working.

What do you mean by stock 502? Turning 5800??! - does not sound stock at all. A standard '92 Merc MAG 502 405 hp is build to turn 4800-5000. Not saying it can't turn 5800 with a much too small prop, but it has no power at 5800. It sounds odd.
Also the 24 is faster than the 25.

This whole speed debate gets rediculous. Used to be everyone went by the "Dream O Meter" and called it good. Now people just lie about it. Knowone wants to be honest...................

Not really talking about anything you said.
