Wot 42
 

What's the top speed of 42 ' with 500 hp's, small step?THANKS ,:drink:

If I remember right there was one at loto that won the shootout for its class several yrs at 80 or so. I think it got 82 one year. I believe the boat was a 1999.

upper 70's small step 95-97, i have a 98 big step classic deck with side by side 500hps, on a cool day and low fuel lights on ill see right at 80. Ran the LOTO shoot out couple years ago and boat ran 77 with a full load of full and mid 90 degrees, big steps are a little faster than the small steps and and staggered are a little faster than side by side, and i think the classic decks ( EX ) are a little lighter than the lightens. hope this helps

later

What props with the small steps and staggered? Anybody using anything other than Bravo 1 props? I have a buddy with 500hp's, staggered, running 28 pitch Bravo 1's at the rev limiter and only seeing mid 70's. His slip seems really high. If figures out to be in the high teens.

2005 42 Ex, small steps, 525's, 1/3 fuel, 32P B1 props, < 70 degrees, 83 mph GPS. At 82-83 degrees or higher I work to get 80-81.

you have big steps.
