05 300 Revenge

Looks like someone could get a good deal on a new 05 Revenge w/496 mags and trailer. Seller is taking Best Offers.

Just wondering if anyone knows ....
What is the speed with 496 Mags? 73 MPH?
What is the speed with 496Mag HOs? 80 MPH?

Thanks.

I don't think 100 extra horsepower would equal an additional 7 MPH.

Mine came stock with 6.2L 68-70mph
I would think those speeds are pretty close.

300 Revenge Top Speed
 

We have an '05 300 with twin 496HO's, 30 pitch 4 blade props, nothing but a bed up front and have had it running 87 on the GPS.

I have around 1100hp in a 2003 and have seen 90-92 so far.
Still playing w/props and gears. Changed from the stock 1.65 to 1.50 last year. That is pretty amazing speed out of the 496ho's....

87 on 496 MAG HO's is impressive!

The boat listed in the classified link in this thread is nice and that got me wondering about the speed with MAGs verses HO's. My last boat did about 69 MPH with 454's so either 496engine version would be faster than what I had before.

How is the ride in the Revenge? My old Enticer rode pretty well in Lake Michigan.

87 on HOs is very impressive.:drink:

Anyone else out there with 496s or HOs have numbers to share?

That's very impressive. Are the motors completely stock? On empty? Is that with a 5 mph river current? Enjoy, you have the best PQ 300.

Here's one for sale claiming 80 mph. I thought PQ marketed it as a 80-82 mph boat. Those are great numbers from 496 HO's.

A PQ300 might be my next boat someday. Unless, I hit the lotto then its a 42 Cig or OL.

You sure this isn't a speedometer reading? I can't see this boat running much more than 80 MPH on stock HO's.

I drove several 300's with HO's and they all ran between 78-82 mph on gps and radar. These runs were all made on Lake Macatawa in Holland, MI. Some of the boats were loaded with options and others were stripped. I find it very hard to beleive that someone is seeing a true 87mph on stock 496 HO's. Most of the runs were made with 40 - 50 gallons of fuel and 1 or 2 people on board.

I would have to agree. :rolleyes:

OK. 496 MAGs run approx. low to mid 70 and 496 MAG HOs run approx. mid to high 70.

How about the ride at those speeds (head on, trailing, quartering)? How is reentry? Is it a better overall ride than the Enticer?

The 300 does all those things better than the 290. Don't get me wrong - the enticer was a great boat, but the 300 is a big improvement. The 290 would chine walk at higher speeds and didn't seem to "stick" as good on re-entry.

Another thing that is much better on the 300 is room in the engine compartment. The 290 was an absolute nightmare to try and do any mechanical work in.:D

There is a ton of room in the engine compartment. :D

Yeah, the 290's are a bit snug in front of the engines. That 300 engine compartment looks sweet.

What was the first year for the 300?

I can attest to the snugness of the 290 engine room. Changing spark plugs was/ is a PITA. The 300 engine room is a dream compared to the 290.

Good to hear the 300 rides so well. I thought my old 290 rode well and that is my barometer. I agree that at higher speeds the 290 would walk a little so it's good to hear the 300 has eliminated that tendency, especially since it runs at higher speeds.

I think the first 300 year was 2003. Maybe late 2002.

They were going to originally release them as 2000's if I'm not mistaken, and then had some issues and pushed back production. When I bought my 99 Vyper I was actually considering waiting for the release of the 30 and then it never materialized.
