1994 TG with 572CI true 700HP, TRS Huber 900's. 28P 4 blade bravo 1 props. In right conditions, IE wave height, current, fuel load, ect, all things being in line, we have seen 82 on GPS. Its a little nerve racking at 5500 RPM, LOL, engines are screaming pretty good, but it has definitely happened .....and more than once at that!

I agree it can happen, but many guys act like its ALL THE time and easily..... needs to be PERFECT conditions.

Just so we are clear, My post wasn't aimed at Cigs , its all brands.

I can see a older Top Gun doing 80mph with 700's and bravos.

The guy who I got my cafe from still has a trophy from poker runs America Georgian bay radar run around 1996 for fastest boat at either 87 or 89mph. I'll get him to send me a pic of it to post. Now it's radar and not GPS but that was hauling azz for a old boat. As said, 91 Cafe, 750 Hawks and #3's. Bought from Phil in 1994 or 5. Guy actually traded in 2 nice Harley's on it and I believe Phil still has one from the deal.

Wait till you ride in a Twin Step Gun with lesser power and still run just as fast or faster.. You will throw both of them in the garbage..... :)
