10% slip is pretty darn good for that boat.

CPR ran mine yesterday with a very similar set up and they said 84+ on the GPS with low 70's temp, 3/4 fuel and 2 people. At 5600 RPMs I have about 80 HP total on your boat and sounds like the fuel load would about offset the people.

With some tweaking and some prop work, I'd think they both should run 84-85 solid in the summer months.

It would be nice to see what 5600 RPM would do, but I am afraid of the bravos. I am having Doller Offshore come out tommorow to tweak the motors alittle. Not looking for Top Speed, just need to set the idle proper and stuff.... OK maybe a little more speed.

Thanks for the info... and you should keep ypur boat, Its Beautiful !! Tony may even buy it back and let it sit at his house so he can just look at it !!

I'd love to run it with some 5 blade herrings and Imcos spinning in to see what it'll do but I guess that will be the job for the next owner.

Theres more there but the new owner will have to wring it out.
