I get 77 gps on a 27 fever in a lake. 5,000 RPM labbed Bravo 28 RH. (no step bottom) Imma change my blower pully and have the blower serviced. it's gotta do 80 or so then... :D

5400 RPM, When I captured the previous GPS run, my boat was flying a lot...
Yes - ECU has an old map program.
This is the "normal" high speed, running totally light again - but OP was looking for FASTEST...

theres some old threads on this....didnt that guy in Fla have one with 1100hp or something that went over 100.....or are you talking right here today

Yes I spoke with him on the phone briefly,he was out of Naples,Fl and was running a blown Chief engine with intercooler around 1000hp. A imco sc drive 36p 5 blade maximus If I am correct and claimed he nailed 105mph all day without a problem (I believe it was a earlier hull 01-04) If I recall correct Brett@Bblades knows the details! Later I think I saw the boat for sale on here. He also said that there was another 29' called problem child (I could be wrong on the name)and told me they were hitting 112+

There is a guy in S. Carolina that can run 110+ 1200hp quad rotor motor.

"Roger" has a very fast 29, but it has twins (575 NA's). Accelerates like a rocket. I rode in it when it had 540's (if I remember correctly) and it would literally pin you to the seat when he would "push" the throttles. :D :D

I own a 2001 29' that is pretty much stock except for some minor tweaks. It has the 575SCi in it.

It loves cool air and warm water (well warm for Seneca Lake that is 600+ feet deep). Ran a few days ago at 91.3 (gps) on flat water. Waiting for cooler air and about 10" chop. Should hit 93+.

It's for sale too. I will take 60. I am looking for a 35 staggered if anyone knows a real good deal (of course) and only used in fresh water.

Good numbers for that boat. I have the same boat but with the 500. How does the hull handle at 85-90?
