Biggs, fastest I've seen on the GPS so far was 70 at 5000 trimmed out. At first I was only seeing 65 and felt trimmed out. I just took the boat out for the season over the weekend and said fu@k it, let me burn some fuel. Then I was throwing more trim at it and saw 70. I've learned you need to drive through a rough spot which the ride is sloppy. Then when trimmed out, she was out of the water all the way. I was very satisfied with this due to the props because I am revving way to high. I am running 23 blade props and should be at a 26. I am talking with bblades now. Waiting on the $$$$. My wife will kill me of I dump any more money in the boat this year. I am going to be happy with mid to upper 70's.

Good to hear. Mine would porpoise on flat water unless the K-Planes were level with the hull. If rough, you could pull them all the way up. Loved trim!!! -Mine ran best with 25 Mirage props. Mirage Plus were a few mph slower...

Here's a pic of mine when it was new. We had that boat for 12 yrs up on the lake we now live at. Logged 1000hrs and ran flawlessly other than blowing a motor at 666 hrs!!!!... Had other boats during that time but just couldn't seem to part with it. Finally sold it a year after we bought the Top Gun.

Owned that boat 12 years and sold it for 15k less than what we paid new!!!!!
