Between 65 and 70 way better than what my old Top Gun did with 525's. I thought it would be the opposite but with the way this thing is set up cruise is about 72, depending on how many people you have in the boat and how much fuel of course. This thing is a blast to drive though.

A couple interesting stories,
When I met Kelly I had that Cafe that was bought and paid for. It was perfect! Tank and I had allot of fun in that boat. That was the days SCOPE was rocking and not full of a bunch of perpetrators! I took my now wife out on our third date on the Cafe from Newport to LB. I will never forget her saying "Is that as fast as you can go?" (uphill in 3 footers doing 70mph. I thought was pretty good!) Damn! might have to keep this girl!
Cafe got sold and off to Miami for "Out of Control".
When I sea-trialed "Out of Control" Philly spun it up to 104mph, when we slowed down he looked at me and said "Don't Ever Run This Boat That Fast With Her (Kelly) In It"
It took me years to figure out how to get it to 103mph! It is a driver's boat.
In the Scope Jump video I slowed down so I could even up with "Hot For Teacher" to make a good end to the video. Kelly was in the Chopper so I new
she would get the drag race at the end. "Out of Control" has half the power Tom's boat does and only goes 10 mph slower than Tom's TG (114). His boat with six's pull's hard so it made for a great part of the video.
In regards to gas milage: Tom "Hot for Teacher" and I went to San Francisco from Discovery Bay years back at a Big Cat Poker Run, He burnt $1400 of fuel that day and I burnt $750. We laughed about that while eating ice cream Junkyard bought us at the fuel dock on the way home.
1:36 gears and a higher X from shorties makes "Out of Control" very efficient, relatively speaking
I had lunch with Philly on Saturday and we were talking about "Out of Control's" Tunnel Ram/Cam set-up that that makes that boat sound like a dragster.
I still miss that sound and seeing sweat on the Tunnel Rams!

Kevin never beat the boat up and was a stickler for maintenance so the drives and everything else held up well. The new owner installed IMCO SCX drives. Obviously those will hold even better. They can actually handle much more horse power that whats in front of them now.
