Your boat is the fastest 272 I know of. All hail the king of fast 272's.
One more quick observation. It is more fun reading about someone making a boat fast than it actually is having a boat that goes fast.
I chased 95MPH for 4 years. got 94.6mph on the GPS once. Called it quits.
Next time, I'll buy the keys to something that's already done rather than building it myself.
your so right, I should of learned after my chit was stolen, from the 24ol. then I get talked into my dream motor blown gellner 572 1114hp on pump gas more on race, less on 89 haha detuned. but started the SABER 28 hull. after 2 years got it in the water. it porpoises like hell= leaps out of the water. so we lowered the drive height from 3'' , 4'' 4 3/4'' which = 4'' to 5 3/4'' cause of the ex box. and still porpoised drive all in. had to change tabs, was going to anyway. from 280s to 380s. so we put 500lbs in the cabin and it helped a little. with the 4''=5'' propshaft height. I had a new gas tank made which on the singles they put behind the back seat going across. now I have to put one in the floor like there twin motors are. I shooting for a 100. there was a twin 509 that did 104 to 110. I think about putting it in the ol but, would need to move the tank I think. but hit 83.2 gps at 6000rpm in the baja. 80 at 5000 with the saber and 380s buried 3/4'' the way down and trimed in. so 95 to a 100 is do able when I get the CG straightened out. whats funny is the 24ol has hook with the strakes last 4'' and the saber has rocker last 4''.back to speeds how fast has the ol24s gone, I know theres one in penn that went 96 or so.
