My straight bottom Top Gun ran 75-77 depending on the day, and had 550 Hawks with TRS drives.

It's worth noting that the Hawk power I had was TERRIBLE, so I question how much HP they actually were making. They were basically a 454 Mag with a B&M 250 Blower, GIL manifolds, dual carb.

Not a Top Gun, but my 35 Mistress runs 70. I spin the props out for control and docking. Props in the boat ran 75 with 26" 4 blades at 5300 RPM.

Konrads, and 540's

A little video, waiting for spring!

Straight Bottom Gun speeds depend on layup.

Our 91 Carbon Fiber TG ran 74-76mph with 525SC's & TRS.
