Speed Question??
 

I have a 1995 velocity 220. I currently run a 454/330 @ 70 mph on radar. It is completely stock except for a 26pitch bravo lab finished from scott at velocity. I am building an approx. 450hp motor. Any ideas on what type of speeds I could see with 450hp in this boat? I am hoping for mid 70's or better.

22 footer with a 450 hp BB power should run around 95 MPH with the proper drive height. I have seen 500 HP small blocks break 100 MPH.

Max Velocity My Guess would be low 80's . Were do you boat ? I see you live in Laporte . "Pinelake and lake Mich". I live in Chereston In.

We boat on Pine Lake and we head out to Lake Michigan whenever the wind is blowing from the right direction. I boat mostly with wette vette and a few others from the area. We have several nice boats running on the lake. Several bajas, checkmates, eliminators, obsession, etc. Pine Lake is a pretty fun lake except the weekends can get pretty crowded.
Where do you do most of your boating?

ON lake Mich .

With a 496 375HP 81MPH GPS

My motor will done in the next few weeks and hope to have the boat in the water the last weekend of May. I will be very happy if I hit 80mph. I will be at 450+ hp, so from what it sounds I should be running 80+.

Call me with any questions Kenny 407-321-1340

I installed a 454 cubic inch 464 HP (dyno horsepower, not prop horsepower) in my 1996 22 footer. With a 26" Bravo four blade prop I run 79.6 MPH on GPS with the tabs level.

Whats the temp, Whats the Alltitude?
