Default 2000 fountain fever 27' top speed?

Anyone know how fast a 27 fever with a 502 is on average being all stock?

Around 67 depending on the fuel amount passengers, and prop pitch

Different water produces different results. Mine won't do 70 on the Ohio River - too much sand/dirt, I guess. Got it to 69 GPS with a labbed RH 24p Bravo 1. Performance report says 70mph speedo, 68.5mph GPS -with a hydromotive 15.5" x 23p. As far as I can tell, engine has never been opened.

I'm running about as close to factory stock as can be done, I'd guess. ...with just over 400 hours on the engine/hull. By the way, it's also for sale!

I had a 2000 fountain 27' 502 mag efi bone stock, 200 hours, bravo 1 outdrive with 1.50 ratio, 23p hydromotive lh rotation. Ran 67mph on gps at 4950 rpm. Brett from BBlades told me to Lab a 24p bravo 1 and it would get me out of the hole better, have good cruise performance and should get me 70-71 mph at 5150 rpm. I ran 71 mph gps, 3/4 tank of fuel, 2 on the boat, water like glass, about 78 degrees low humidity.

I just bought a 2000 27 with a bone stock 502 I'm getting about 45-4600 rpm at about 55 I looked at the prop and see no markings on it but this weekend were taking the 24p from my fathers 29 and going to see what she will do...it's also got bottom paint on it so I'm guessing there's quite a bit of drag but I think it has the wrong pitch prop on it...maybe talking to Brett soon about a labbed 24p 70 sounds pretty good out of a stock 502
