Current speed mark, 114.5 mph on gps.

Winter projects, oil temp thermostat, maybe play with some labbed props or a bigger prop and some misc little stuff

newspeed, 30+ cat so I can run 100+ in more then ideal conditions and be safer

Current absolute best speeds alone, low on fuel, and really cold out was 67. I'm hoping that with a little prop tuning/swapping and raising the x-dimension I could touch on 70 under the same conditions. However, my next boat would be something with twins and in the 29'-33' range. I'll be happy with anything in the high-70's
(At least that's what I say now)

Current top speed 75.3 GPS with a stock 454 mag (385 hp). No mods planned until the warranty expires. After that, I'd like around 500 hp. That would probably put into the 80's. The hull is a 24' Superboat.

84mph during the third hour with the boat. Three guys on board, third of a tank, 55 degrees, water like glass, 25" Mirages (all over the rev limiters), on hand-held GPS. Then we switched to 26" Bravos, could only pull 81mph and 4,700rpm. Eliminator currently has boat, they wanted to do a minor mod to the hull. They believe it will pick up a couple of mph. Then we will try it with 27" Mirages. Should get close to 90 (please, please, please).

newspeed? Uncle Toys II will either be a 30' Eliminator or a 32" Skater with something unique under the hatch. Hint - Uncle Toys I is an R&D project. This is subject to a couple of things: DougieFresh doesn't get me going on Vees in the ocean, my wife doesn't learn how to read OSO. Shhhh!

Cattitude - Your going to be french kissing 95 Newspeed 28' DaytonaLP with 6.2's? Now that's an idea Forget the "reality check", reality aint what got us to this point. Any finally - what's PII syndrome?

My old 26' Mirage has seen 75, but was revving to 5700rpms. I put on a 27" mirage (cupped) prop but have not driven faster than 65. I don't want to break anything.

I'm considering switching to a twin jet setup (nothing to break), if the testing proves proves what the designer is hopeing for. He is looking for performance similar to a prop. No more speed, just simpler.
