Let's just all say 70+ mph....It sounds better that way anyhows

60's and below is cruisers speed.

That is 70 with the EFI engine. The paint was an option for the 2001s. How many days til it gets warm??

Before Thanksgiving, we don't count the days until it gets warm, we count the months . Probably won't see 60F+ until May 2007. Lets just say we have a short boating season in Wisconsin.

I decided to wait until spring to raise the garage door and header. So in order to get her into the garage this fall with my existing 7' door, I removed the windshield and dropped the tire pressures down to 18 PSI. It took two guys to roll her, but she did clear the low door. After I cleared the door, I filled the tires back to 60 PSI. I couldn't believe how easily she rolled. Easier than my old 21' on a tandem axle trailer. Next spring, I'll raise the garage door header and life will be good Right now, the garage has (1) 28' boat, (1) 21' boat, (1) 8.5X10 snowmobile trailer and (1) 4X4 extended cab truck in it. One full toy box. As for the company truck, that can sit outside in the turn-around for now!

I have a 2000 280, 502, labbed 26 bravo, gil exhaust, 1" drive spacer, k&n filter, remapped ecu. 69.5 gps is my best so far, previous owner saw 70.1. I need to register so i can post pic's

Did you buy Jons' 280 ? He put alot of time and effort to get it really dialed in.

Yeah, I saw that boat on Ebay. I bid on but never met the reserve. Its a nice boat. I'm in the same shoes, just picked up a 270 with a 502 on ebay and she's in storage. Never even got to hear her run let alone put her in the water. Good luck getting it in the garage....

yes, I did buy Jon's boat, I think he got every mph possible out it.
