Midwest is great.. I remember on year in the 70's. I was water skiing in Mid. January due to a heat wave. 75deg air temp. 33Deg Lake Michigan temp. 
My knees and ankels matched my boat, they were both PURPLE. (dark purple)
And thanks for the info. I am looking at a 353 with 575's and a 353 with 500's. (and Hustlers, AT's etc. the jury is still deleborating with the selection)

353 (2007) with twin 600 SCI and ITS
and 2 inch shorties (IMCO)
93,3 MPH
There was a 382 Fas3Tech in Speedboat Magazine with twin 575 `s tested versus a 382 with twin 600 `s
Top Speed was almost the same , only fuel consumption of the 600`s was much better in Midrange RPM
So a 353 with twin 575`s and a good setup ( boxes or ITS with shorties) should reach a similar speed

Hi!
How fast will a 533 go with 2 x 565 hp engines (Raylar upgraded 496 HO's) with and without stelling boxes?
What about 2 inch shorties?
Sorry for all these questions. I am a outboard guy you see, and there we have adjustable poswerlifts.
Cheeers and thanks!
