dyno I could only run 68-69 gps (at best) with the tired 502 mpi's sounds like yours works real well. you must love the long rollers out on lake michigan ..nice air time

Nice numbers, what year is your boat? My 88 is so loaded up with heavy cruising and fishing gear, I have dropped down to about 50 MPH with twin 350 HP scorpions. Guess it is not a go fast anymore.
Best GPS on it WAS 72 MPH, fresh labbed props, high X, stripped light, wind and current going in the right direction.
