22' Baja: How fast?
 

A friend of mine is looking at a 22' Baja w/454 mag Bravo.
Best he could do is 56 gps. Should it run faster?
Would only tach at 4200 WOT.
I'm not sure of the year, looks to be 90's.

sounds like its proped wrong or its not a mag, it should run 5,000 rpm

If its a 22 Caliber or a Hammer it should run upper 60's with the mag or low 60's with a 300 horse 7.4. My uncle had a '93 22 Caliber with a 7.4. With a 23 pitch Mirage it ran 62 - 63 GPS, speedo showed 69 - 70.

Hey Rob: whqat kind of boat is that in your avatar?, looks nice...Matt

IF its a 220 Sport I just sold mine with a 454 Mag ran 70 gps on fumes. Was a solide 67 boat all loaded up. Here's a picture.

Thanks for the replies, I passed the info along. Mechanic is looking at engine now.

Matt: It's a 36 Mirage, just redone this winter..thanks.
