As alot of you know everyone post speeds on here and to be truthfull some seem a little faster then possable with what they say they have. Not saying that they cant do it, but lets get serious for a while and post true speeds and with what set up you have. I'll start this off.
1. 99 38 avenger bottom not worked
2. 525 sc's with 240 hours
3. 12" boxes with lathem
4. 30 pitch 4 blade bravos not worked
5. Dont know gear ratio. sorry
6. Best speed I have seen was 77.4 on GPS with a nice chop, normally run 74-75 GPS every day running.
I do carry alot of crap since I have a 2 year old that goes out with me. Plus I think my cooler weights al least 200 lbs sometimes
.
.
Are there any 34's, 29's, or any singles running agressive speeds out there? Just curious, hope everyone respons to this and has fun with this thread. But remember be honest.





Thanks Rich.

1996 270 Laser
Dyno @ 514hp
Dyno @ 510tq
Hydromotive 4Blade Prop
Built my Gellner Engineering
Stored on a Jet dock, Bottom stays nice and clean

MPH is unkown, just got the prop reworked hoping for more but it was over 70 before the prop was reworked. Power Quest saw the boat, To much power for the hull haha. At like 4500rpms the boat chine walks like crazy but witht he help of the tabs it makes the ride very smooth. Next project is to go bigger tabs, and change out the lower drive unit on the outdrive which will increase stability and top end power by 6-8mph. Supercharged Seadoo RXP's run around 68-70mph lake was flat ran the dude at least 3 times, he wasn't able to keep up I was backing off the throttle and i was still moving good. I would say I was a head at least 1000 feet. Raced a Baja twin engines not sure of his engines but had to have at least 454's. Kept up with him for awhile he was at least a whole other boat in front of me not to bad I guess.

Get your bottom re-worked!
The boat will have a whole different attitude and you will see 80+

550+ per side
78mph @4850 with 30 Bravos and a lot of cup (cruising props) weight not critical to speed

82 seen 84 once! With labbed Bravos @ 5300 weight and fuel sensitive to see anything over 80

GPS

Engines are carbed HP500 balanced with 731 cams and modified heads, not dynoed but with all the changes my speeds went up about 4 mph

Im not one of you heavy hitters with 500 hp, but here are HONEST numbers. 2000, 38, stock 502s, 28 lab finshed. 72.5 on GPS 2 people 1/2 tank of gas, 1 ft chop.

1997 27 powerquest 502 mag stock
68 mph on faria speedometer

Not Me!

Most definitely not me!

99 380 Avenger with 500efi's 30" lab finsih props, bottom blue printed 82 mph on the gps . Hit the recall anytime and it will show 82 mph. Did 83 last fall on the river when it was in the low 70's . And yes I was going up river. I lifted the enigine hatch to get more air back there and i think it help out alot.

Popular thread Rich.

I have one key number for you.........

87






As in runs on 87 octane. I know, not quite as exciting as MPH.

Although, I was proud of her the other day as she walked away from a brand new BAJA H2X that had atlead a stock 496 in it. Did I mention I had a full tank and 5 adults....
