How fast is a 27 lightning deck boat?
Looking at buying something with some more room but I dont want to sacrifice too much speed. How fast are these boats with an HO or better? Thanks in advance for the input.

I've tested several of them. They will run mid 60's with a 496 HO under average summer conditions (95+ degrees) at 700 ft. elevation, light load. The 525 will run low to mid 70's. I installed a Whipple on one with a 525. It now runs low 90's under the same conditions that it would only run low 70's stock. Of course these are all GPS numbers.
