38 AVS Accurate information
 
Not that it matters one way or another but I am curious as to how many were made.

Also, what power and gps speeds are people seeing with what drive systems??

Built from '98-2002. 502 mpi 66 to 70 mph, 500hp or efi generally 75 to 78,few 500 with x set up just right and lighter layup over 80, 600 Volvo dpx 82. I was 85/87 with 680hp in 99. Now building and 01 with 800s. As to how many built maybe Dan at archer marine might know.

Few 575sci boats not sure on mph. My guess would be 80/83

What props, drives were you running with the 680's? How did it handle at those speeds?

Bravo 1 drives. 572/680 ran 30p 4 blades 5500 at LOTO. Handled great. 70mph with 502mpis 4900 26p 4 blades. Mpis would be ok if u raised rev limiter and ran 24 pitch to make it snappier but with 26 it feels like an electric golf cart engine. Have not been in 500, 575, or 600. 600 Volvo duodrive is supposed to be sweet set up.

Should do that all day long. Post pic. Would like to which paint scheme it has.

If it's bravo one 5 blade is hard on them. I'm guessing 30p 5 blade about 5200 rpm. What engines are they making 700?
30 p four blade should do 85 5400 if u can spin more rpm and easier on the drive.

That looks like a AVS we had here in NE Maryland. I think it had 500efi's.

The one from ne MD was purple and yellow. This one has blue and yellow. It was originally sold at a dealer on Kentucky then went to Michigan. This one has chief engines Whipple 700's.
