The boxes are set at the highest setting, could lowering the boxes increase top speed? How about more fuel flow? Lookin for suggestions.
Something not adding up?? 26" bravo @ 5000 is aprox 72mph. How could u only be turning 26" pith 5000 r's with 700+ hp?? Maybe your turning a higher pitch prop?? Are u using gps to measure speed? I turn 26 bravos @ 5500 for 78mph w/625's. Also, my boat ran 72 max with 525sc's b4 I repowered.

how do you like the boxs? Speed gain? Do you have any before and after comparison #'s with the same power, or did you add boxa at same time you re-powered??
