My main qualms lie in whether I'm throwing money at a hull (Bravo boat albeit) that is just inefficient? My boat runs barely 80 if that with 500EFIs and shorties.... while my buddies 2008 525 boat runs 90 easily. I had looked years ago at a similar 2000 38' Lightning as mine with Whipple 500EFIs (700HP a side) and it barely broke 90... so that to me is a bit discouraging. Are there any of these boats out there running clear of a 100-105? What power? Input welcome.
