Right before I sold my 29 with 496HO's. Bone stock except for labbed 27's.

So when you did this run, how much fuel, gear and passengers did you have? When I say 75-77 on a regular basis, I'm not talking no fuel, no passengers and gear. Those numbers are, to me anyway, completely useless. I guess it's in how you look at it. I see the top end number as being the number that you can run loaded, say with 3-4 ppl, 3/4 fuel and gear, not empty. Besides, we are talking the diff between 1-2 mph here with a labbed prop, it's not a big deal. As mentioned before, every boat is different, and some always run a little better that others. Nice to see the boat performed so well, cool ride.

By definition, top end number means "top end" number (highest number attainable). Could have gone faster if I had dumped 500 lbs of fuel. Gas tank was almost full.
