Dean,
We've got the exact same setup (HO's w/ XR drives). We've hit 82 GPS tops so far in good cool air and medium load. I'm curious what speed you get once it's broke in. Let me know.
I think that the XR's probably cost a couple MPH, but they're worth the reliability. I'm always curious to validate my theories though.
You won't be disappointed with this setup. We really love our boat.

Here is a teaser for you Dean....in the first pic, she was pegged at 83 on the GPS - with 600 pounds of people and lite fuel. In the second pic, you can see what we did to that 35' Fountain (whose, in an effort to be considerate to my photographer, name I will withhold)

Sunday is lookin better all the time for it's first time out. Calling for mostly sunny and 72 now. I agree with you Mark Melissa would have made the first picture look alot better. Hope it's a short winter so I can be taking some pictures out on the water. Thomas tried to talk me into making a run down to Urbanna this afternoon but work had to come first need to make some gas money...Dean

Well as I expected Sundays weather has gone to crap now it looks good for the middle of the week, I feel a sick day coming on oh I forgot I own the company everyday can be a sick day..Iwish that was really true. I can't say enough about William and all the people at Harbor Marine. Great people to deal with. ...Dean
