Just read your previous post. You did put it right, I'm just blind or too caught up in work. I think the best I've seen personally is about 1600 hr's. That was a bit tired, but had only had the drive rebuild.
I would say, in that case yes. But I've seen them run 91-93 with 525EFI's. I've also seen performance reports with 95-96 numbers. I honestly don't think it's far off. |

Keep in mind where Fountain does their reports...on the Pemblico River. Just about every one I have seen is a little faster than real world conditions. I dont disagree with you though...a perfectly dialed, ideal water and air in a 38 w 525s and labbed props may see low 90's.
Even if running "only" 82-83, that is not too shabby, and one helluwa reliable and "cheap-to-run" package. |

Just wondering with 496's what this boat would run with a normal load. What is it worth with 496's? Looks nice, I like the dash layout, and silver paint. |
Nice looking boat. Not stupid crazy power. Probably very reliable.

I've spoken to the owner. When it came out of the factory with -2's it ran a bit over 80's with a normal load and ideal conditions. With the current setup of standard length XR's it's running 75 under normal conditions.
Great looking boat. |
496 has cast pistions might shatter if you run them hard :lolhit:
