My Freind has the last 05 built @ 188th st factory. w/525's, it runs 82ish in salt water.
my '02 w/ 575's runs 87 - 90 depending on variables.

Alot of these boats are not set up right from the factory. I would check and make sure the drives are aligned first.Do you have an extended cabin? That adds some weight.You should be turning 5200rpm @ wot. It took my friend in his last two 525 boats some time to get the right prop setup.

I would call Phil @ Lip-Ship and ask him what to do. Tell him Lucky Strike told you to call. I wouldn't get that excited about getting much more speed becuase he says most 525 boats run 86mph and that is from the horse's mouth.

If you lab your props that you have now, you will get another 2-300 rpms and they may work. Not sure, call Throttle Up

Where are you on your trim at WOT?
I have an 03 Lipship w/ 525's. Tattle-tale GPS Speedo proves 89 on it. However, on Garmin 182, a little less than 2 MPH slower.
Phil swears on 4.5 on trim (I have an extended CG Cabin and TONS of extra weight in speakers/amps/batteries etc...).
Gotta love Lip-Ship!
P.S. Harry, did you ever sell your 42? We had a conversation about it appx. 6 months ago.
