Is the 1995 model considered a fastec, I think the fastec started in 1997

First of all, congrats on the purchase. Looks like a great boat. But you answered your own question - your '95 is a SR-1 (flat bottom) since the FASTech (step bottom) didn't come out until '97.

The big block with duo prop should provide great acceleration and mid-range cruise performance.

thanx for looking and the feedback,
sounds like it's not a fastech and the bravo 3 may be a good drive for the boat.
just talked to the freight dudes, they are picking it up tonight for about a 1000 mile tow,
be here Thursday, hopefully in one piece....

yes your boat is not a fastech, as stated above they came out in 97, I have only gotten 58 outta mine on gps, my prop needs to be cleaned up and it either needs to be cupped out to a plus or I need to get a mirage plus and then see, sounds like from differant people it should be going 61

I used to have a 92' 271 with a 502 ci, 415 hp, a bravo 1 outdrive. gps speed was 61.9, with under a half tank of gas and two people on board in fresh water. It was a great boat! Enjoy the fit and finish of one of the finest production boats manufactured.
