Top speed for the 25' Rage was 75.6 mph at 5,000 rpm, not at all bad for a 3,700-pound boat powered by a 425-horsepower motor with a Bravo One X (new this year) drive with 1.5:1 reduction and a lab-finished Mercury 15 1/4" x 26" four-blade stainless-steel propeller. More impressive than that speed, however, was how stable the 25-footer felt at that speed.

"With an HP500EFI engine, this boat would probably go 85 mph, and it would handle it," said Bob Teague, our lead test driver.

Wife and I went down to the landing at cg to see
if you guys were around . Saw your trailers
the ford cig combo she is impressive.
Went up to the boat house for a listen but you guy must have been to far out .Felt like it must have been cold.But by the pictures it was worth it.

I think that picking up 9.4 mph with an extra 45 HP is unrealistic!!!! WTF does Powerboat Mag think we are, a bunch of NitWits!!!!!:D :D :D

GLH,

I was at Champlain yesterday on the NY side by Keesville (if that is how you spell it) and heard some nice power running along the Vermont side. I could not see them, but I figured it was you. The lake was like glass. I am glad you had a great weekend with it. It looks great. I will be back up for the Fun run in July and look forward to seeing eveybody then.
