Re: 292 Speeds
MY 2002 with 6.2's will almost always run 70 or better, GPS , on the freshwater lake near our home. Speedometer shows right at 75- 76 ... Last week I took 2 of my rather "big" friends out for a ride and with 3/4 tank of fuel, we saw 70.5 on GPS, at 5000 rpm, running stock Bravo 1 28P props. I do know if you trim the boat too much, real speed will start to drop, even though the speedometer still seems to climb a little - but that is not uncommon with the standard bravo 1 speedo pickups ... easy way to impress your friends (unless one of them has a GPS 
). Also, starts to throw some interesting "rooster tail" if you get it trimmed too much, too!
