I'm Thinking Triple Digits If You Have Twin 625's But You Will Need Higher Pitch Props Than The 28's.................ws

03 Formula 382 w/ 575's w/ITS, 79.8 w/ 2 people and 1/2 load of fuel. Best I have seen and it took a bit to get there! Just can't see that 8 decade mark for nothing

'79 22' Donzi Criterion, weighs about 3500# wet, i would think. CHevy 502 BB, fuel injected.....probably 500-550 hp. 74.6gps with a 23p mirage. I'll bet it has more, but i havent had much time to do some prop testing. I'd like to try a 25 mirage or a Turbo prop....havent even got the boat wet this year yet
