There are so many variables I’m not sure how you could call BS with so much enthusiasm. There’s years of threads on here with guys discussing 80-86 from a 353 and 525s in fresh water. Seems to be a good number of guys played with props and got into the mid 80s.

Stock power makes a big difference in top speeds fact is on you tube watch it thanks! And yes 525's Bad monkey you still have your 353? If so how fast and what power & how fast ???If not why did you sell it ?Just turned down good offer on mine gonna keep it! Save the name calling for your shrink!

everytime I see that pic, all I can think is invisible trailer.

Never had a trailer not good to leave boat on trailer!

id argue your setup is worse for a hull than a trailer given a trailer fully supports the hull (if setup right) with more surface area…which means less force per sq inch. thus less potential damage to hull. But hey…I’m no physicist.

Nice docking job. pretty little Flemish coil on the dock and horrible actual docking/line use. But yea, I love my boat's transom/swimplatform hitting the dock.

Did the same "expert" that told you 525's speed tell you this incorrect info too?

Gang up time people are right about OSO they tell tall tails of top speeds then get pissed when caught! ZONE 0 there is a bumper behind boat Carry on!

I find it amusing, leaving a boat in water (the very thing it's supposed to be in) is also literally the worst thing for it.

Mine lives on a lift above the water all summer and on a trailer inside all winter. Winter is no fun .

I wouldn't mind a 353. Nice size up from my 292.

shouldnt put it on a trailer…not good for the boat.
