Default 35' Exec with 500's- real speeds?

Looking to upgrade from my 02' 29 Fever with 575 SCi to 35' Exec with 500 EFI's. Does anyone have this package? What are legit speeds? What props? How is the planning and mid range speeds? 29' Fever is for sale!

Had one with hp 500's, yours should run 80 -81 and come right on plane. I think I was running 26 hydro's on mine.

-2 shorties would probably give you a 3 -4 gain.

Same as my last one , go figure. You did have 26" Hydros on it Robert, would run the same with 28" Lab Bravos. Pretty much any 35 single step / Executioner will run 80- 81 most of the time, my best was about 83 on a perfect day and light on fuel.

And it always seemed to get the best speed when the wife wasn't in the boat screaming at me to slow down - I could air it out a little more

They are great boats btw.

I drove a friends 35' with 500's a couple of years ago. 86MPH with 4 people, fresh water and about a 2 ft chop. Not sure what props he was turning.

Thanks,
Mike

I guess I lucky in that respect, Samantha screams as well, but it's usually cause she wants to go faster. She's as psyched about the new boat as I am, she's looking foreward to this summer and the new 90+ mph ride.

And yes the single step 35 is an awesome boat.
