Thanks, just did a search on past threads and seems 80-85 would be a fair target. - Thanks

Mike, you are correct. Most I have seen are 80-83 in normal conditions. A light layup, boxes, extra high X, etc may get you a little more. 4 local boats fit in your speeds.

Wink Re: What speed on 33 pp with twin 500's.

The 33' SportDecks with the higher X-demensions, which became possible with the first low-water pick-up Bravo drives & 4-blade Bravo One Mercury propellers...all went about 84-85 m.p.h. light on fuel. There were a couple boats that surprised us & went as fast as 88-89 m.p.h. The X-demension was 18 5/8" x 36"(center to center). X-height was limited by the radius at the top of the transom, or we would have been a bit higher. Ed
