As stated, formula said 64 on the 242 with twin 260s. I'm surprised you were only turning 19s. I ran 65 in a 272 formula but it had 330 horse and 25 mirage props. That is a real number and full load full people was always 63.x in the absolute worst case.

the Warlock should run better than that, i ran 84-85 with a zz502 in mine and then went to a 540 that made 680 hp on the dyno and the best gps has been 93.3 light on fuel but will run 90-92 all the time with a 29 spinneli prop turning 5800. I think i talked to you at the fun run a few weeks ago

I really don't get this. I ran 68 mph all day in freshwater on 425HP, 69 in salt, with 3/4 tank of fuel and all kinds of crap on the boat. The only difference between your boat and mine is I run 1.5 drives and the X dimension on my boat is pretty darn high. I would have expected your boat to run high 70's with your power.
Is the Warlock running an identical motor to the Cafe? If so you are running very different top RPM's. Where did you make the most power on the dyno?I've run with you guys, you certainly aren't scared to run it hard. I wonder if you are leaving a lot on the table with your prop choices.

And yes it's the exact motor from the cafe, we have the other motor sitting in the garage.
