47 stepped hull
How does the newer stepped hull 47 handle the bigger water, 4 footers and over?

Boat runs great, we were out in 4-6 easily doing 70+ no problem
Is your boat Dragon Play?

It will do an honest 85-87 mph on the GPS. With the right conditions a 90 could be possible. My 01 shows 85 on the speedo (500's) but the GPS will only show 80-82. Another 75 HP should be good for a few mph.

It says 85. They go by the speedo, which I do too as far as bragging rights. I've got a hand-held Garmin GPS. When I compare it to the speedo the speedo reads slower up to around 50mph. They both read the same up to around 70-75 then the speedo starts reading faster than the GPS. So I guess I don't know for sure which is more accurate. I just assume the GPS is. Anybody else compare? I have the Gaffrig liquid filled water pressure type speedo. Reads off the center drive speedo hole in the Bravo drive.

Re: 47 stepped hull
Thank you for the question regarding the 47'. The 47' is a tremendous boat that runs great in 4' water. The honest speed is 90mph all day on Lake Michigan with 300 gallons of fuel and six adults. I have seen as much as 93mph with two people and 1/2 tank of fuel.
Our current 47' is optioned with triple 525, Gen/AC/Heat,, Stove, Sink, Complete Head & Gear. Boat is very impressive in many different ways. Feel free to call with any further questions
