Default 35 (Single step) owners -speed#'s

I'm curious as to what other 35 Fountain owners are getting for top speed & what power & props are you running? I'm currently having my HP500's rebuilt for my '99 35 Classic. Aiming for 550-575 hp & hoping to run mid 80's? Best run end of summer was 78 GPS (a bit on the slow side -tired motors) (28 labbed B1's turning in) whats everyone else running??

I am buying a 97 model from Dallasboats, and on my demo run we hit 83.1on my handheld gps, boat was at lake Texoma, both tanks almost full, two people on board, with some gear, boat has been repowered with 500efi's by Leon Derebery, has ext. boxes, 1.36 bravo drives with nose cones, and had 24? pitch Hydro props spinning in. we were turning 5550 rpm's [right at rev limiter] the props had no markings on them they were polished, guy said he thought they were 24 pitch.

H2X - congrats on the Fountain purchase - those are good #'s - How you like it compared to your Baja? I traded up from a 32 Sunsation at the end of the season.

2000 with carbed 500s. 27" Hydros turning in. 80 mph gps. We've never really let the boat run to try and eek out a max speed so there might be a little more there.

I really liked the fountain, a nice step up from a 29 Baja, I had also bought the baja from Trent at www.dallasboats4sale.com I should take delivery on the 35 on Feburary 5th. my loan is a go and already have an insurance binder on it. Next item to take care of is changing my avatar

friend has a single step 35 with 750+ a side. we were running mid 90's when we had a blower belt go. He said he has seen a touch over 100 since then.
