99 280 top speed with 454 mag????
 

Looking to put another offer in on this 280. But what's the top speed? They told me mid to upper 60's. 280 with step hall. Also anyone no how many gal an HR? Thank you

probably low 60s at best. prob 2 miles per gal.

My 2001 280 with 502MAG runs upper 60's, so with only a 454 MAG I say low 60's at best.

Thank you all

Where is the 280 you are looking at? Which one? I used to own one with that setup. Best I saw was 67 with just me on board and light load. Full of fuel and coolers and 6 adults I would run a 22p bravo prop instead of my 24p or it would struggle to plane. It would always run 60 or better even fully loaded. Great boat. We loved it. Can't beat the room in it for a 28 footer.

I've got one for sale. Call and let's talk. Runs 80 gps. Full tank ,6 people,wrong prop....73 gps. Great boat Bob 504-813-6853

dra200832: PQ make great all around boats, the do EVERYTHING well, not the fastest, but fast enough, awesome in the rough but you don't need monster engine to power it through. The track real well and they take a pounding. Some boats are speedsters and nothing else, some are awesome in the rough but are heavy and slow. Depending your price range, these boats are hard to top for the price.

+1 :drink:

When I had my 280, an old salt taught me a trick with the single engine - shift to neutral, then turn the drive the way way you want it, and back into either forward or reverse. Much easier than trying to steer while under power.

Maybe it was something everyone knows, but it sure helped this rookie, back in the day! :)

That is what I ended up learning. An it helped a lot thank you
