James I had a 2000 29 HP500 Fountain and with you on board and low fuel (50 gal.) you should see 74 maybe touch 75 on a good day perfect water conditions.

Gaffrig liquid filled speedo always showed 74 - 77 mph. Never held it open for miles to see what it was "really" capable of, tweaking the drive trim. Reggie report showed 74.5 mph. After having the opportunity to have run one of my boats at the factory (Pamlico River/Sound), I believe that number since they are at sea level and sort of salt -water. My boat that I ran at their facility ran ~ 2 mph faster than anywhere else I had run that boat, given same fuel level, air temperature and 2 people in the boat. BTW, my boat that I ran at their shop was not my 29 with 500EFI.

Very interesting post!.......you should make this post into a thread about your experience.......guy after guy has posted here about how his boat wont run the numbers in the Reggie Report he got with his boat........this certainly sheds some light on it.
