I thought mine was 60 per Pepe.

I have only filled it once and tried it and it did run a lot better, without it you need lots of tab.

Thanks for that information Mickey I thought it would be somewhere around that amount , are you single or twin motor .

mine is a single speedmaster so its alittle more heavy then a tradional bravo boat. The tank was not installed from the factory. I added it when I purchased the boat. Mine is also alittle on the heavier side for a single weighing in at 6200 lbs.

i fill it in any rough water race we run, and I’ve filled it in some moderate chop if I feel that we can stay in hooked up better and stay closer on our 75mph number.

28 single 500 efi. Low 70s. Very balanced boat.

Stock 500?

My 28 with carbed 598 has only seen 74 so far. Motor is heading to Saris this winter for top end, new cam and dyno, but Im thinking she's around 700hp. Its also a notched transom so I'm sure its down a couple MPH from a full hull boat.

Notched transom should add a little speed. The 28 is a great boat for it's size in rough water, but definitely no speed demon.

Curious as to why you think (or know) it would be faster? Also curious as to why they only ran the notched transom boats for two years; obviously if speed didn't suffer there was some other reason they decided to go back to a full length hull?

*edit - my boat was very poorly setup when I picked it up a few months ago; its been a process getting it sorted but were getting there slowly. The trouble I'm having now is dealing with lack of bow lift / blow out with the notched transom. Not debating or arguing - just trying to better educate myself!

The notch allows the drive to be mounted higher which supposedly equals more MPH.

Any pics of your boat?
