Geez!! My 25' OL must be dragging something. Best speed so far is 84@5400. I am running a 28 bravo though. What gets me is the 700hp that i had. Just got engine freshened up,dynoed 779@6000 without any belt driven accessories. Dont worry, I'm not trying to kill meself lol,just curious to know what its capable of. I have a Bravo 30 I might try out but dont want to blow up the drive. I agree that anything over 80 in a 25'boat is on a ragged edge and can be a handfull!!!
V.I. Outlaw - I'm running a bone stock Mirage 27P. Not sure of the RPM at 80ish. Too damn busy driving the boat to look at the tach (not kidding LOL) but probably around 5500-5600. I mention this as maybe you'd get more top end with a 3 blade?

Nothing I've seen in an offshore is faster per horsepower than a Velocity. I run 90 with 4 adults and a full tank with shy of 700hp in a 280. Gary Cook from PFE ran 103 with a single NA setup in a 26'. Haven't seen anybody break 100 with a single NA motor in a full size offshore hull.

You can see how easy it is to drive.. I filmed these while driving. Heres a quick run to 90.. there was some boatwakes getting me from the side even
