Top Gun Speed
 

Just got my new (to me ) Top Gun Home and was suprised at the test . In fact I am going to do it again today because I was not expecting the speeds.

1998 Top Gun FULL CABIN
Non Step
4 people
1/3 fuel in both tanks
Twin Merc. 600SC's (rebuilt by Innovation 647 H.P. Each)
68 degrees
Light chop

Garmin GPS says 72.4 knots = 83.2 MPH

Really thought I would be in the mid 70's !!!

Sounds about right maybe a little fast but if the water is right...had a Tiger 42' non-step with moded 600SC's and ran 83 MPH

Sounds about right to me too.

Fill the tanks and raise the temp to 95 and humuidity in the 80% range and you'll be high 70's to 80.

Motors love that dense air!!! Sounds like you are enjoying the ride. Congrats!

The salt water helped a little too.

What props?

Todd what RPM were you at ???

I couldnt get that boat to go that fast down hill :D

Sounds like the rebuild gave it a bunch of umpf

Congrats that is great speed for that boat

that sounds like fun!, post some picks you will pick up some speed when you get into 3 footers bravos? good luck, greg

Maybe we should have a poll on this to decide.....but I think that you should put some $$$ in an escrow account now. Those Bravos won't last!!!!!!!!!:eek: :eek:

:drink: :evilb: :evilb:

I know , I know, I have already put enough in the shoe box for XR's with sportmaster lowers !!

Props 28

RPM was at 5200

Xr's are next and the boost on the SC's goes up a little, then I sell it at the end of the season and buy Fred's Tiger
