I am going to guess between 75-80 mph.

Sounds about right, when I was shopping a few years back kinda looking more for a 38 most were saying 80ish with side by side 5000EFI set ups, plus a few on a staggered. Did call on one staggered with 575's and was told 90ish. Then there was the tuned up staggered 575 SCI boat that Gharlie R. had in VT that had run 100+. Believe that one is here in N.Y. as of last spring.

You are correct, my buddy owns that boat now and with my 6 blades it does go just over the big mark. How about bringing the biotch down for the swamp run and make Reggie PROUD!!!

Very nice boat, did a test run with Charlie in Lake George, was hard to take the walk on that one!

Have often thought about your run. Just have a hard time with the thought of running in a Swamp! Right now I'm hoping that it will make it to the slip at HBW for the 4th. Poor thing has not seen the light of day since last fall.

Have a friend that has that exact boat. With stock 4 blade hydros it runs 77ish - with some prop tweeking and X dim adjustments that hull can do 80ish with 500 efis.
