But any ways,,,i think dialing in a 28 PP with all the right set up it can go 80 + with HP 500 !!!!
I hope you're right and plan to find out.

My guess would be the 28 would run around 72-75 mph(fuel load people etc)with a labbed bravo prop,now with some serious tweaking extension boxes,herring 5-6 blade,bottom work,weight distribution etc,the boat could easily go in the 80s,as long as the boat wasn't laid up to heavy.My .02,good luck with your boat,Powerplays are awesome boats have owned several 33,you will love the ride

We'll see, it should be here next week. I'll have to get GPS first.....maybe it'll do 80 without it.

That's the one (96 though).

The HP500 is actually a 99 though, not the original power.

Shipper is picking it up Monday, so I'm getting pretty anxious.
