So we are anywhere from low 70's to mid 90's.

Might not wanna take our word as we can't even be in the same ball park.

Nice looking ride. Was the hatch pad replaced?

'98 was the first year with the big steps, should be worth a few mph vs an older model

beautiful BEAK, double step that will help your speed, she's going to suck fuel when you get into the boost, she'll run in the 80's for sure.
I thought you had 454's with an after-market blower, those blue motors are nice little motors, I have a set of them, run just fine.
My 35 with those motors runs 79.9 GPS, but mine is a single step.

My biggeset concern about buying it is the upkeep and maintenance versus my single engine 27' that I have now. The gas bill will suck pretty bad as well but I am not as concerned about that as I am the motors. It sounds like they are a reliable powerplant I just was not to sure about the motors being supercharged because of reliability concerns

Pretty small blowers on 454's with dominators. Nothing exotic and parts are around. Change the oil in blowers send in around 250 hours for inspection you shouldnt have any issuues. Gas was cheaper in a triple 2002 47 with 500 efi's and it was as fast!
