Good for you Scot!
Definately a "get in, hold the fack on, we won't be gone long" kind of boat!

Speed calculator says 85. Not a bad speed Adam.

Mine with Bravos and 540 Bulldogs (HP500s) Bravos on Boxes ran 83...

I'd say Kev is about spot on....severely underpowered with the 525s (IMHO) with #6s, now whipple them and you might have a better time...mind you 85 is nothing to shake a stick at, but I think if you went with a 700 combo, you'll be right around 100, that would be a perfect all day running setup.

The #6 Boat is a totally different animal from the bravo boat, you need the speed to get her to settle in...trim it out...by the time it starts to get going, you've clipped her wings without the power...just my humble opinion...

Cheap, Fast, Reliable...pick two..

Adam I know it wouldn't be your first choice but how about that T/S Top Gun "Loose Cannon" at OP bought is Beautiful, just throw some Whipples on and call it a day. Or run it as is and sell it next year this is what Kevin does.
