I had a 2006 28 W/496 H.O.'s for 5 summers on Havasu and loved it. It has been by far the best Lake boat I have owned . Over that time period i only changed the fluids , impellers and one set of spark plugs, thats it . My boat ran 105-106 consistantly (bravo 32p labbed , IMCO 1" Shorties) and i am sure with fine tuning and a set of Herings it could hit 110 mph.
I truly regret selling that boat and would buy another any day.

I have one and the fastest I have ever seen is 96.5 down in havasu. I just got a set of 31p 4 blade herrings that I am going to try tommorow....well see how that works. I had trouble spinning 32's on my boat. My boat also has std lowers.

If you are looking for a boat that has 496's I would make sure it has a tunnel tab so you can get it on a plane easy.

I should have bought it from you back in 08. Your boat looked and ran great. Do you know where it went?

I have an 01 tall deck.. runs high 80's... Best I have seen is 93. It runs 4 blades right now and could use 5 blades.. but good reliable set up in my mind.. Doesn't plane bad, but it is by no means fast to get up. PS its for sale if intrested

it's mine....110.1mph

Yup!, It was yours...hopefully it's not still a secret about the headers.

Stock with headers from day 1.... It never ran without them.

i have a buddie that has a 2005 28 icc with stock 496ho's with e-top cmi's. he runs 102-103mph anyday with 30p 5 blades and he always has a full tank of gas. awsome running boat. i would love to trade up to a 28 icc.

I have a friend with a 30 Daytona, stock HO496s, boat runs 96-100 all day long, so I would think a 28 would run easily over 100+mph, turnkey, user friendly motors.
