'33zx 500hp-how fast???
 

Hi folks,
Anyone know how fast one of these rigs will run??
Thankx,
mike

I see consistent 85-87 mph on GPS in my 33 Daytona with stock 575sci's and Hydro P5-30's (stock). 83 mph with Bravo 1 32". I would expect you would see 75-80 depending upon the prop setup. love the boat, great combination of performance and comfort.

A non Daytona could flirt with 80 under the right conditions, a Daytona could see a bit over 80 in the right conditions.. ;)

Thanks for the input guys....horny Daytona mic....
What are these things like out of the hole accelerating???
The daytona has a lighter kevlar hull I presume?
thankx

Lakeside, those numbers with the 500's??

My dad's 33 w/500's will run in the lower 80's. I thought the advertised speed was 83-84 at sea-level.

My 2001 with 500's will see mid to upper 70's if you wring it's neck in salt water

Is the Daytona hull different ?

The daytona's are lighter & are composite hulls Kevlar composite). The non daytona's are all heavier & polyester/fiberglass layup. ;) Jamie

thanks verbi.

it's a heavy boat, which is one of the reason's it handles the rough so well. so far, i've had the best all around perf. with 5 blades. the 32" bravo's (32" bravo's may vary) blowout bad out of the hole, you have to baby it up. the P5's come out like a ski boat with minimal aeration. i saw about a 5mph faster cruise speed with the P5's and 4-5 easy mph faster top-end due to having more bite (more blade surface and less prop slip). i believe my owner's manual says the daytona weighs either 600 or 800 lb's less. i'd have to dig it up to be exact.

The 33 Daytona was a 1999 or 2000 if I remember correctly
80-82mph Gps back around 2000/2001 I ran one in the chesapeake bay (salt water) With the Rep from Donzi & yes it had a pair of Merc 500hp efi's.. Light chop about 75* temp, 3 persons & under 1/2 tank of fuel for a load/conditions..

Thanks for the input guys.....thats good speed with the girlfriend being able to make popcorn standing up in front of the microwave....:evilb:

My 2001 with 500's has inboard rot 26 p barvo 1 4 blades . I get a lot of blow out getting on a plane . I looked into the P5 but they do not have a 24 pitch . any help ? or suggestions

33zx 496HO's 72-73mph
33zx 500's 77-79mph
33zx 525's 82-84mph
give or take w/conditions
?sounds about right?

I believe the Daytonas also have a stand off box. Great boats, i did not know the layup had kevlar in it. Learn somthin new every day :cool:

One of the reasons you see the ITS set ups on some is that was/is an option with the blue motors that you would run in the Daytona.. ;) J

Hi.
I have 33zx with 525's 77-78 mph with prop 30 4b trim level 3
Thats good or bad
Thanks

I have the hp 500s and I see 77 78 all the time and even hit 82 once last year but every thing was just right there was a bout a 2 to 3 ft chop with caps and the boat loved it.
