1994 257 Legend BR, 7.4 ~350 hp, Bravo III with 28P props. On gps:

1/2 tank, 1 person, 1' chop, ran 57
1/2 tank, 4 people +gear, just a little chop, ran 55

Great all round hull but as others said, not a speed demon. However, with the BIII in this hull, I can tow kids on wake boards at 12-13 mph and stay on plane. Throws a mean wake too-

Tabs down I'm on plane in about 5 seconds with my Hydro QIV, more like 15-20 with the 3 blade Mirage plus. I concur, huge difference, and what was cool with the Hydromotive, my handling at top speeds is better too!

It should have been 280 and yes it is a single step hull. Not real sure on the hp thinking it should be around 500-515
