Ken,

What are you running for props? I have a '33 with HPs as well. I've been running 24P B1s. Can get 73 (full load) @5200. Great hole shot and handling.

Darin's going to work a little magic on the 24s over the winter

Bajadude you should be getting better than 73mph. I have a friend with a 33 with 496 H.O.'s getting 72mph full load. Another friend with 33 with 500 EFI's getting close to 80mph. All speeds GPS.

With the 24s I've never been able to get over 74 (GPS). Tried 28s and they sucked big time. Darin's going to work on the props over the winter. Some of the guys up here are running Mirages, and definitely get 2 - 3 more on the top end than I do. I just don't like the way they plane or handle.

We'll see in the spring.

Welcome Pwam3 and Baja_daddy. Trust me the Bajas can handle the extra power and still be safe and give a great ride! The 33 and the 32 I have are basically thesame hull.

I love to make much more expensive boats look silly.
