What top speed will a ZT 280 run with 500 hp?

Thanks

Well,we worked on one and it ran low 70's. Then we put a 900 in it and it ran 100. Scary at those speeds and i NEVER get scared going fast.

Magic, are you getting out of that nortic already? I have an older 28 that will do mid 60"s loaded. I could prop it different, but its fast enough.

Sean isnt, but mine is in the classifieds on this site. I am going to put it in boattrader.com this week for a month. I just had a baby girl over the winter which makes 4 kids, and the cruiser is more practical for a few years.

Nikki is pregnant as well. My baby boy is due the middle of March. I thought that I saw Sean's boat for sale in the RV trader last fall.

He did have his boat listed, but since changed his mind. Becareful with the boat that you choose to buy. I bought my check when my boy was 1. I took it very easy with him on board, but he didnt like the noise. With the new one, I dont have the room nor the want to take the whole family for a ride at 3200 rpm. My values changed with the new baby. I have a 25 cruiser that fits everyone perfect and I am still on the water. I will probably chang my mind once the check sells, but who knows. Good luck on your new purchase and I will see you on the water this summer.

My old man has a 36 foot cabin cruiser and I also have a pontoon. This will probably be our only kid. I am definately not ready to give up the performance boating yet, if my son doesn't like it he will spending alot of time on grandpa's boat.
