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.

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.
