In addtion, the article says the 525 was doing 5,800rpms. Take a look at the 525 specs posted by Mercury high Performace Marine... and then me how the 525 on the Eliminator was doing 5,800rpms at 525HP!!!! Sneaky little stinkers!

5200rpm, 1.35:1 gears, 36p props, 11% slip = 120.12mph according to my prop workshop program. 5400 at 12% slip is 120 as well.
A 30 with 750's should be way faster than 120. My friends 30 with 575sc's runs 115 gps.
