Raytart- Which driveline are you running? The engine of choice thus far for me is the 500EFI, talked with JD with the 8.1HO and he was saying about 72-73mph with that setup.

No problem, I honestly havent spent anytime in my boat at sea level so I actually havent seen a number in my Heat. I have heard around 70....On the speedo my heat runs 60mph at 5595 feet, and 65 at 4551 feet for what its worth...

Be careful with rebuilds. Make sure the rebuild was done by a reputable shop.

when I was shopping I REALLY wanted a heat, but just couldn't find any in my price range.

I ended up with a 280 velocity, and absolutley love it. I was leary since I didn't have tabs, but honestly have never really needed em.
