The OL will outrun the TG with the same power but I still would rather have the TG ride in the slop.

we built a set of my540-650hp non step top gun ran around 80-82,we also built a set of 598-775hp non step top gun ran around 90,the 650 boat had std xr,the 775hp had xr-2sportmaster both boat were in the mid 90s era,the 598 engines had massive torque and could turn big wheels really hard on drives

All those #'s seem about right, every straight bottom gun I've seen with 650-700hp runs right above 80. A buddy has a '95 with 525efi, xr's. Runs around 72mph.

My cousin had a '99 single step OL stilleto,(wild card). It is a staggered,#6 boat had 800-850's in it and would run mid 100's, never seen 110. Not sure on the props, had a set of 4 and 5 blades.

I've spent some time in both, a stilleto is definetly faster than a straight bottom gun, the stilleto's ride isn't bad, but it is not a top gun.

i currently have both, 38 tg 92 carbon boat with ssm 540/ 598 hp, the boat ran 81 mph. took those motors out and put them in the 97 ol stiletto and the boat ran 93/94 mph (xr on boxes). NO hop on the outerlimits, never even heard of one doing that. the same stiletto with 598/ 735 hp ran 104mph, no hop. the 598 will be going in the top gun in a month or two, expecting low to mid 90's. my brother has a 92 kevlar gun with konrad and 572 cu in 5 liter whipple detuned 1000's, runs right at 100. original the konrad boat was a trs boat with hawk 600's, ran 73/74 (blown 454 b&m 250's)

Thanks for all the input its been helpful. I currently own a Baja but a looking to buy a 1994 38 topgun with 750hp

A friend of mine has a 1994 TG with 700HP he's looking to sell. Let me know if your interested.

i will sell you a kevlar speedmaster 750hp top gun and you will be a lot more happy not blowing bravos

My buddy's got an '89 Anniversary Edition (notched) with 700s & Konrads for sale....

What speed will a 38 topgun run with #3 and 800 hp with no step

In the right conditions, upper 80's low 90's from all that I've read, my TG is for sale also, its not this fast but you cant fish at 70
