Hope to see 85 this year but 83 will be fine. :D

Last season in our Kevlar Top Gun when the waters in the bay were rough enough fully loaded we could hit 82.5mph@ 5400rpms on gps with the stock 600SCs .
This season with brand new 800s and bigger props she will be in the mid 90s with a much better cruise speed which is what I look forward to more than my max mph!

Same boat, same props, pretty much the same engines...same exact speed.

I had 3 blades on there before. Then I put on those quad 4 26's on there and its way better out of the hole, but I think it took away from the top speed a little.
