89 Sea Ray 260 cc
 

1989 Sea Ray 260 cc , 7.4 454, alpha,

With a 19 pitch 3 blade WOT 4600 rmps = 39 mph

Tested the boat today. Appears to be like new, under 400 hours.

My question:

Is the best I can expect as far as speed? It plans out with no effort...

What can I expect for a cruise speed / rpm / gph ?

thats about all your going to get out of her,you can go up a bit on rpms,but it may give you 1or 2 mph.

Kind of a bummer. Such a nice boat, great profile, and handles chop like a pro... just wish she would push a little closer to 50. Still might pick her up and enjoy the ride just the same.
