I have a friend looking at a 2007 288 with a 496 mag. He wants to know how fast it would be. He is really afraid that it will be underpowered for the size. I do have to say it is a great looking boat. Thanks in advance.

I'd say 65.

Someone will chime in and confirm soon I guess.

63-67 MPH is about right great boat! rides very nice also.

MAG or MAG HO?

HO will run 66-67. Regular Mag maybe 62-63

63 -64 for a 496 mag

67 for a 496 mag ho

If everything still fresh.

FWIW I had an 04 288 with lightning headers and a labbed prop perfect conditions 70mph. 68-69 every day.
