Speed From A 04 T/s Top Gun

What Speed Do You Guys See With A 04 38 Top Gun
With 525's? We Have A Set Of 32 Bravo's On Now
Is That The Best Prop Or A 5 Blade? Thanks.

We Are Seeing 81/82 Did Not Know If This Is Right
Thought It Should Be More.

He is running 32 Labbed (.500 EFI boats run 81-82 all day long.)Your boat should be 2-3 MPH more at least.

Re: Speed From A 04 T/s Top Gun

I have a cousin who has a 2005 Top Gun with 32p 4 blade bravos. The best he has ever seen is 86mph and that was with the temp being 40 degrees and 2 people. Most of the summer he ran 84mph. He tried the Merc 5 blade prop and that didn't work at all. You should run 84-86mph.

I also have a friend who has a 2001 Top Gun with 500EFI and XR's with 28p 4 blades and is having a hard time breaking 80mph.
