As far as my motor goes, it is completely stock.

i was refering to the many many threads that start with that sentence or words to that effect. and my point was simple. there is no magic to getting more speed as long as you do your homework and that homework does not involve just just opening a summit catalog and believing the hype. i was simply suggesting a calmer and more rational approach . i understand how that may have gone unrecognized

My response is; That makes sense to me now. Did you do some upgrades this year? Seams like you were talking about it.
no. i was considering 540 rotating assemblies in my 502's but the logistical problems with my location along with the minimal gains in overall performance made me decide not to. i would have ended up with maybe another 75 hp/ side which , on paper was only a couple mph more for a lot of work and money. the boat runs great at 65 mph w/ box stock injected 502's . i wasn't in the mood to fix problems i didn't really have.

performance
 
I have a 27ft virage with the twin step hull and notched transome. It also has the bravo III drive with a 26pitch prop not labbed , has a stock 502mpi. I am hitting 68mph on gps everyday with three people and light gas wot 4900rpm. I think dropping down in prop pitch may give you what you want not hundred percent sure. Just my 2cents.
