Depends on the year, setup, props, x-dim, etc. A friends '04 with 525s showed 89.5mph on the gps tattletale when he got it. He swapped the props for 5 blades Maximus's and is running around 86 now I think. Some of the newer 38s on the river around here are claiming 90+ with 525s.

87.4 (4 x's on my GPS in dead air and light chop) on stock 500 EFI's, non labbed 26" Hydros, B-1 drives-all stock in a 2001 hull. The engines are basically new though.
74 degrees outside and salt water with 60 gals fuel on board and no one else. They will go faster/slower depending on water and outside temp but I have owned this one for 4 years and it runs faster than ever with the fresh motors. Trim to "5". I can bank on 84-86 on most days. Most "claim" 82-86 according to posts.
