02 280 with the 496 HO 425 hp. Going with a good current you'll hit 70.xxxx. Typically I see 65-68 conditions pending

With Mag Ho (425hp) you should see 73-74. That is the 260-24'.

Yes it is the 24ft-260 with 425 hp. 73-74mph would be great!

TOM280,

Should run atleast 70 with the right prop on it IMO!!

Not to change the course of this thread, but..........

Relocating to your area in June. I will be in Roswell & Marietta next week looking at some houses!! Where do most of the boaters keep their boats down there?? How strict are the HOA's?? I like to keep mine at the house and not in some storage lot!!

Thanks
D.

I would think it would be at least 70. I do 73 (on a good day)with a 280, 502 mag and headers.
