Would regularly run 92-93 Seen a best of 96 @ 5850. Also had labbed throttle up 6 blade 30p props. They were always faster than my herings. I also removed the cabin interior. that made a big difference in ride and handling.

That's impressive with 525's. Do you know where your prop shaft height to hull depth is at?

I have my performance report somewhere. i believe the x dimension is 22"

Isn't the IMCO lower faster than the sportmaster?
