Your only hope is that the extra weight of the her new boobies slows me down. If so, I'm ok with that

No no,,the best I ever got out of the 300 was 82.2 gps but I would get 79 to 80 gps out of it with average weight and fuel..

with 32 the best I got on gps was 79 and get 77.5 -78 gps with average fuel and weight..
but I only put about 10 hours on the 32 so I still have to learn the boat and I still have to try some different props

but I think 78 is about it for the 32,, which is fine because the ride is pretty good..

the PQ 300 is a twin step with 425hp x2
the 32 is a single step with 415hp x2

The 502's are also notorious for not making their advertised HP on the dyno, unlike say the 525's that consistantly dyno 20 + HP above their advertised HP. Those 502's could be pumping out around 390 HP. The HO's dyno pretty close to their advertised HP.

Those 502's are plenty for Tom... He doesn't need to be running around with high roller and the big chit with the BLUE motors...

Maybe repower with 5.0L's? There is a 292 Formula in the classifieds sporting that awesome power package.
