Mine has been 137 on the lake at 760' above sea level, so maybe 140 in salt and it might be for sale

No the boat was setup and sold new by Rolf Papke of Proroc marine in Brick NJ,I bought in the fall of 2011 at the time the owner was 84 years old and hadn't used it since 2006 it has 500 efi's with whipples and -2 imco's turning 36 bravos with 1.21 gears at 5800 rpms 120-125 is safe but 130+ in the boat is asking for trouble I only run the boat a couple time a year but after a ride the thought of selling it goes away

the best part dean is the boat feels great at that speed. I think a little bit more work on the balance of the boat and she will be even better


if I remember correctly, 02-03 was around the time the imcos starting showing up. That's when we started playing more with drive heights on the 30s.
once we moved the x-dimensions as high as we could on the transom, and the availability, of the shorter lowers, we started seeing some improvements in the performance of the 30 I/Os
