Default 25 hits 82 with 250XSs

I have been dialing in my boat with props and settled on BBlade OBF 28" Bravos. I had some handling issues that were resolved with switching from fleetmasters to sportmasters and raising the engines one hole so prop shafts are at the running surface. I also added some ballast to the forward storage area under the bed to eliminate the porpoise caused by the heavier Optimaxes hanging on the back. My best speed last weekend was 82 on GPS at 5700ish RPM. My engines redline at 5850 so I am right there. The boat rides and drives great after getting everything dialed in and am looking forward to a summer of boating in the NW.

Very nice. Getting the boat just right especially when it comes to top speed can be a pita. Some more detailed pics of your machine as well as setup would be nice for the PP faithful. Vids of the high speed run won't hurt either. Thanks for sharing.

I will get some closer pics of the boat. Don't have any vids yet and I need some better/closer pics of it running.

That's one fine setup you have. Always loved the lines of the 25 OB. Congrats!

Love the PP 25s!! Props spinning out or in? 82 is getting it done for sure.

Very nice boat and engine combo. 82 mph in a vee hull that size with that hp is hauling the mail!! I had a Kevlar 25'8" Thouroughbred with twin 260s'. It was a beast! Keep us posted on your fun!!
