Does anyone know the history of the 28' at Fastboats.com? What kind of speed does a twin with 500's make?

I believe that is the boat from the FL panhandle, 500's should push that to near 80

Those aren't factory 500s, they're "clones".

I didn't realize that. I assume the graphics are vinyl then. Looked better all white IMO.

If it has 500hp a side its should be well in to the 80's... sttraight bottom or not. My 33 straight bottom with 496HO's does 76-77 on GPS, 500's put it at around 82-83, so 5ft less hull should scoot

AJ I agree. If they're 500s it will run 85 every day and high 80s on a good day.
