how fast should this boat run with 525's?
 
I contacted the Broker.
I know what speed it apparently runs.
tell me your opinion on how fast it should run.

Then I'll tell you what speed I was told, and if I'm happy or not about the answer... do I need to tell my guess speed is not what the real speed is?

my F 35-7 has the same paint scheme so I had a little ''kick'' on the boat...

bout 80 .... bet they say mid 80's

I am really likeing the black dash more and more (good thing eh?) ..the Gauge setup sucks but could really made to look nice ....

speed is actually more like 70 mph... honestly I wished it was more... the newer fountain 35 with 2 x 500 runs 100 mph!
hope that this older 38 with 525 would reach 80-85. so for only the 6 mph difference and the 60k more than mine, I'll keep mine! and I got the same paint scheme... so I won't really notice...but I was really disapointed...

35 Fountain ... take away the Beak and you got a 31" boat ...however reggie's done his homework ...

I think it should be high 70's, if not somethign is wrong I would say.

it is equiped almost like a cruiser so maybe that is why the slower speed...

nah just read your other thread. Formulas dont have the bottom technology. They are pretty slow all around. No offense to formula owners.

my girlfriend says I have a good ''bottom '' technologie! :D

As heavy as that boat is, the way it's equipped, I'd have guessed at about 70 to 75, but thats a sweet looking boat.

322 hours may make for tired motors, I'd have expected 75mph. What does a 382 with new na 525s run?
