Default 2004 top speed?

Hey Guys!

I REALLY like the 35 that is in the classifieds from Pier 57, GORGEOUS boat!

I was just wondering what the top speed of an 04 35 would be? Boat has non staggered 525EFI's

I am "guessing" around 85-90MPH? But, I could be way off!


Thanks!
Michael

Mid to high 80's everyday. Low 90's in perfect conditions.

Any other input on the boat (good or bad) anything to look out for? I have heard the 525's are great motors, any thoughts!

Thanks!

There was a Fountain video years ago that said 92, its long gone they took it down. That was with 4 gallons of fuel and a tailwind. Probably high 80s all the time.

Only thing you have to watch is the headers, a lot of guys have had major problems with them.

Nice boat.

But the name has to go

I would say high 80's for sure. Propped right, and in good conditions 90 is real likely. The 525's are a dream to own, simply maintain them and they will treat you very well.

CMI issues are more the staggered set ups and salt water. Have not heard of many issues with the shorter side by side pipes.
