I was wandering if anyone knew this boat? It is on Craigslist, not many pics. What should the top speed on this boat be? If anyone knows any info on it let me know. I am thinking about selling th Rage and moving up in size, have also been thinking about a Sunsation.

call Eric at EB Marine, i believe this is the one he just worked on.

78

That seems low.

A whippled 525 makes north of 700 horsepower...which should put it in the mid 80's.

When my boat was stock (600sci) it would consistantly do 79-80

I would guess 85-88 mph for this boat.

A stock 525 (normally 540 cshp) in a Heat generally runs mid to upper 70s. The Whipple should easily add 10 MPH.
Like any performance boat it may take some propeller work and drive height adjustment to get there, if it hasn't already been done.
Eric should know the #s.

if that's the purple and yellow whippled 525 boat that was bought in the Vegas area and brought to the Nashville area. That was a 90mph boat running out of prop with a 30P if memory serves. I called about that one when it was for sale, I just couldn't deal with the purple racing stripes.

I bought another one with purple racing stripes instead lol.

90 propped correct @ low altitude.
I had '02 w/ HP500/Whipple turning 32 lab ~90 @ Havasu.
525 in theory should have little more, I'd say 750hp.

Missed the Whipple.

How big of whipple? Just curious, I tried a 32 on mine and only saw 84ish. My boat didn't like that prop much.

500 with vortech at 5 psi

I should have read "Heat" in the post.
Mine was a Rage. I'd guess 84 should be about right for the bigger boat?
Also prop was sent to Merc for lab. My experience is they do it the best.
Oh and I was ~6 psi.
