Re: 33 Outlaw
Nothing done to the boat, YET , but this was done running down current on the Mississippi. Figure possibly 1.5 - 2 mph current adding to the speed, also rev limit alarm was going off the entire time. I ran the first run at 77.9 then 79.4 the next after lowering the right motor 3/4 more than the left to pull the rpms below 5300. Boat had 1/16 tank of fuel and has ran unreal fast from the day I purchased it. Not trying to anger anyone as well, but just stating facts. I was running side by side with a 30' outlaw late last summer and actually pulled away from him slightly. Maybe a poor driver, but that is what happened.
The radar run was done in front of possibly 100 boats at an event held by my dealer.

I ran there too that day,.... their radar was reading
2 mph faster than what my GPS was reading.

The math on that comes out to 18% slip. Most perfromance V bottoms are between 11-9% slip.
BTW;

Re: 33 Outlaw
The one that RJBBC is talking about is a 2003 33 law with 500s, 8" boxes running 30 pitch 4 blades turning out. Owner says it runs over 80 but two years ago when he said he was running 80 I pulled out my GPS and showed him 77.4, he was not happy. the day they ran it was about 45 degress out 3 guys and a full tank of fuel and I was told they were running over 80 I think it is a true 77-78 mph boat still very respectfull though. What do you think?

Re: 33 Outlaw
Using math is very easy to calculate boat speed. Most performance V Bottoms have 9-11% slip and cats have 6-8% slip. A 30p prop moves 30" through the water with every revolution. Using engine RPM and drive ratio is the rest that is needed to calculate it out. The big variable is how much the props have been tweaked from their advertised inch/pitch and the accuracy of the tach. Here is a quick way to figure it out.
