I have 502's with Weiand 177's on them and I don't think I see much over 74, 75.
They are just heavy flat bottoms.......

Seafordguy I know your boat it was at my marina, but what is your total HP? My boat is a bravo set up 500 HP Dart intakes CMI's ditched the water pumps and replaced with cross overs. With 2 guys in a 2-3 chop 1/2 tank of fuel it will do 74mph. The boat with full tank of fuel 4 people in flat water will only do 70mph. Water conditions make a big improvement in speed. I boat in Long Island Sound where there is almost always a chop.

I heard the boats run a little better in salt then fresh water? Also the Cafe with #3's is carrying more weight with the tranny's and it also sucks up some of the hp.
