From powerboat in 2003:

"We didn't have that opportunity, but we did have the new 33 Outlaw SST with twin 425-hp MerCruiser 496 Mag HO engines, Bravo One XR drives with 1.5:1 gear reductions and inward-rotating Bravo One 15 1/4" x 30" four-blade stainless-steel propellers. In addition to the delta pad, which was roughly 8 inches wide and 11 feet long, the 24-degree hull had four strakes and flat chines.

With the engines turning 4,750 rpm, top speed for the 33 Outlaw SST was 75.2 mph, which wasn't bad for a 7,500-pound boat. Dropping the Mercury 380S K-Planes and nailing the throttles yielded a time to plane of 3.8 seconds and a zero-to-20-second speed of 67 mph. "

There you go 75.2 mph on Radar

Wannabe,

Perfect info...just what I needed!!

That's great acceleration considering the boat was over-propped. You'd probably see more speed as well with 28s.
