My buddy just got a 35 EX with 525's and report has it at 88, there is issues with props on his but so far we have seen 87 with him, me, and our wives, lots of fuel, junk they take and Florida heat (two weeks ago).

Those reports are really pretty nice, they show how the boat was ran and set up to hit the posted speed. I don't remember seeing other manufactures doing that but maybe they did.
All that said you defiantly need to start looking at things.
Your numbers show prop slip 25% - 28%. Something not right.

WG,
Hustler does test reports, got 1 each for the Talon (88mph with 496 HO, which is not in the boat anymore), and 388, (90mph).
Thanks,
Dean

The semi-staggered 38 should run over 90 with ease. You have either some very tired mills or some hook in your hull - or both.
