He or was at 76 or 78 on the best day and it barley just ticked there IIRC. low fuel, no water, no extras, cold day

As 33outlaw said 70-74 is about the normal the 33's run with normal stock black engines.

Unless you have fubared 4 blade props and then you can only see 66 :picard1::party-smiley-004:

On a side note I have a set of the 25 mirage plus props that came form Baja on the 33. I'll sell if anyone is looking for a set

hopefully picking this thing up next week and will take her out on the Chesapeake Bay to get some base numbers..

Not enough motor to pull 78 mph. I did it twice, but was running down river to help them out. Doesn't matter. You will love the boat

Congrats on it going well so far. Post up some pics once you get it.

I think I know what this means, but what is the short explanation of this statement? Thanks

Liner is a grid system think of a tic-tack-toe board going all the way up the hull to provide rigidity, a stringer boat has two large beams running from stern to bow to give the boat rigidity.
