I never let you guys know how fast she floats....LOL
We did NOT hit 70mph. I have it limited to 5300rpm, and all she will give me there is 67mph. Its not bad, bouncing the front end, but I am sure that has more to do with my skills in getting trimmed right. It didnt do any chine walking, I wonder if there is a differance between the I/O boats and the Outboards??? We were not light by any means, full tank again, 60gallons, and 2 250+ guys, and me, at 160. One yeti cooler full of pepsi. We were on the water about 730am, then promptly spun the prop hub  after a speed run. But, got a new one on, and we where in the boat till 900pm I have to admit, it was really cool being the fastest boat, including jet skis, on the lake wendsday. Them poor boys never stood a chance....  I also got looked at funny, and kinda implied I didnt know what I was talking about at the local marina there, when I was hunting for a prop hub for the "Bravo 1 24p" for the Wellcraft 20V. Promplty took the guy for a ride after it was fixed....he was simply stunned

You ask about outboard - the boat for sale on Long Island, Lindenhurst I believe.
He's got a racing powerhead on a Merc 200hp and claims to hit 65mph. It's less than 300 hp, but that's what he says it will do so whatever..... Another cool thing about the rig you've set up is that it can " cruise " at 50 mph all day, just loafing along !

that calculates to 16% slip, not bad, but not real good. How much throttle do you have left in it at 5300? You may want to step up to a 26 p. Using the same slip, that will put you at 73. You should have better slip numbers with that prop
