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

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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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

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

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.
