You will be right about 72 mph.

I would say more like 65-66mph, just my 2 cents.
Good luck

A friend of mine bought one of them new in 89. It had 420's and trs's. Full of fuel it ran 73-74. Light on fuel, 2 people I've seen 75-76. The engines were stone stock with the old style cast iron exhaust manifolds.

I have an 88 33'. You should be in the mid to upper 70's with about 450HP. I run upper 80's with about 650HP w/trs. I did have smaller engines before which ran in the mid 70's. You do need to have a dry, strong, staight, well kept hull if you want to run fast.

I have a 1990 35 with 502's (stock) just over 410hrs, bravo drives on a myco trailer for sale if interested.
PM me and I can send a bunch of pics etc.
Delivery is not a big deal either, selling because I want to get bigger and newer.

Thanks and good luck;

With the four blade Spinelli's I am running 70mph on fresh water. I have been told I can gain 2-3 mph with three blade Mirage I think they said but not sure. The hole shot and midrange of the four blades is awesome. Now having said all that I am at 5000rpm at WOT.

It's not a 8.8, it's a 29 with the swim platform.
