[B]Mike I believe lots of us gave dates and speeds almost a year ago. I think I guessed early September delivery September (4th) and speed was 72mph (GPS) Full load and gas.

You actually changed to 72 mph and
never said September!!! Just the facts.

I received Mikes first deposit on 2/20/02 and tested it for the first time on 8/24/02.It took exactly 6 months to build.There was a few added options that were not ordered from the get go: like the custom American flag paint work which took approximately 2-3 weeks extra time ,optional sink and cooler option in the cabin,and custom embroidery on the sunpad.These are custom things that take time to do.
The best speed I saw here in salt water in flat conditions with 2 people and a half a tank gas was 77-78 mph on GPS.I was turning only 5150 RPM with a 28' labbed 4 blade prop so I feel there was a bit more room for improvement.
I believe Mike is looking to step up to a larger size boat now.I am sure he will put his reason on selling this awesome 28'.
The picture I attached was taken by me on 8/25/02 at Elliott Key in Biscayne Bay.

JO

I personally do not think you have to drive the hell out of a boat or car, but just the opposite , you have to drive it w/ finnesse and know where the settings for optimun speeds are, and most important its limits! You will find difference in fresh water to salt water, humidity, weight of the boat, fuel,etc, etc. B-Stubb's boat I believe is a 94/95 which is heavier than dangerkittys2002. I do not think Dangerkittys has anything to gain by exagerating speeds. Also different Dynos will read different. If you have anymore doubt on Jo's numbers, please ask Pamteraman 28 who owns our F-1 black boat: How many hp. to push 4700 pounds=speed or contact pantera 28 for his hp to weight=speed, if you still have doubts, I am sure Jo will be thrilled to borrow and demo pantera28's boat to you.
