i call bullsh!t

talk with titos who drove all of them....84 tops with 500s


must of left the batteries on when trailering... a 525 boat wont do that :D

Re: 35 Playboy Speeds
 

Im thinking the same. My Gladiator which is bare bones in race trim only hits 89-90mph with the stock 500efi's

Re: 35 Playboy Speeds
 

Me to, the fastest i noticed was 84 out in the ocean with three people in the boat.

i was suprized when i saw the recall. but i guarantee you that i never have towed it that fast.

But GPS can make mistakes i have no idea when that speed came up.

Re: 35 Playboy Speeds
 

There is a local one here with 525's from NM, they said hit 90, I will see if I can get him to post.

Re: 35 Playboy Speeds
 

I have an 2003 with 525's with stock bravo 4 blade 86-88 depending on gas. Did hit 90 with props form Tres on fumes.

Re: 35 Playboy Speeds
 

ya'll probably don't care but i saw this thread and decided to post as i found something interesting after repowering and switching over to bravo drives.

my 87 cafe runs 50mph on GPS @3600RPM w/496HOs ... I'm feeling pretty good about myself :)

although top end is still around 70mph...@4800(have some adjustments to make so i can get full throttle out of it...

so i guess that's where the step bottom really shines...getting more air under the boat at higher speeds certainly helps with top end speeds...

Re: 35 Playboy Speeds
 

Gas? Meaning 93 vs 87 or load? What props did you hit 90 with? Are you running ITS Sportmasters?

Re: 35 Playboy Speeds
 

Smoke this does have ITS, Not trying to steal your thunder "T", I just know your boat flies!!! :D

Re: 35 Playboy Speeds
 

My 2001 ran best of 83 on freshwater w/500EFI's. I saw no improvement when using 92 octane. I also switched to 30" labbed bravos and did not pick up any top speed but accleration was much better.

I kind of think that he is talking about how much fuel is in the boat.
