I agree i have a 2008 custom built 29ft velocity lightweight boat with a 600 sci (stock right now) getting 83-84 on gps on a good day ,no way will a 28 ft boat with a stock 525 hit 100 mph low 80s thats about it .

I looked at the 28EVO, it looks no bigger than an older Baja 226. My 280 looks huge compared to that boat. Also noticed they are running it in FLAT water.
I can see a 24' light layup boat doing 90+ with a 525 in it.

Well I will say this. My 29 which is 28' 11" with no platform ran 88 all day and cant be touched in the rough. That was with 470hp. No box and stock prop. This boat was not light by any standard. Please dont tell me it cant be done. Imagine what that boat would do with a light lay up and no cabin. Testing will be complete by the end of the summer and you will see the boat at the Miami boat show. We will be giving rides to prove the 100mph for a hundred grand.

Guess it depends on what you call 28'. 2 foot of beak, 2 foot of swim plat, low freeboard, no cabin with 4 man sit down is considered a 28'?

The baja comment is nonsense.
The 28 Evo is 28.6 long with an 8.6 beam.
This is a waterline measurement and the boat has no step.
It is tight on the inside
The 2750 is the same size - has an much more open interior and is 30 ft when you add the swimstep.

My 29' Kryptonite with 550hp ran in the mid 80's. That boat had a no frills cabin and was very light. Hard to believe a 28' pleasure boat could do 100.
