Ran 86-87 on gps speedo with 525s
Only the second time I have had it in the water and my 42 with stock 525s were reading 86-87 mph on the GPS speedo. That was with labbed 30s' on a 55 degree day here in WI

My Tiger running 6Lbs of boost. Upgraded cam, Fuel injector rails, ported heads, and a remapped ECU. is making 680 HP.
Running non labbed 32 Pitch Bravo 4 blades boat does an honest 92 MPH.
Stock 575's will run mid 80's. You'll need a little more than big pulleys and chillers to break 90. Besides those 575's will blow if not upgraded correctly.
Innovation did my upgrade, and in my opinion they are one of the best (that's why Mercury uses them)
Cha-Ching, my $.02

Oh, I forgot I have 18" mufflers, and a 6" wind screen.
Neil @ Cigarette said that stuff is costing me about 3 MPH. Labbing the props would give me about another 1-2 MPH.
5 + 92 = 97MPH, on a 42 Ft boat
