JUKED YOU

and before allt eh 25o/l owners jump on my case, i disnt say it isnt possible for one to run 72 on gps with a 425.. i know it is possible and i also know it has been discussed here many times. im just saying it seems the average is more like 68-70.

Should be faster... Tell your customer to drop the sink, stove, microwave and tv...

There is absolutley no reason (IMO) a true 640HP isn't pushing that rig near to 80.

JUKED YOU

he may be running even less boost most of the time to be honest with you, just going off what i have been told. i know he runs a labbed 28 most of the time with his wife and 2 kids on board. it is possible that with a prop change it coud run 80.

my brothers 2002 25 outlaw with a 496 ho ran 64.7 before labbing the prop and 66.7 after.

Need to be careful to really evaluate the horsepower on 496"s with superchargers. Remember the supercharger itself uses 50-75 horsepower at full boost to make its power. Some manufacturers are overstating horsepower at the crank. If you have 650HP advertised less 50-75HP for a 575HP net then the speeds expected will have to be based on this "real" number. Just a thought for your planning.

I highly doubt a 25 o.l. w/ H.O. will hit the low 70's,, maybe on fumes in cold air temp, cold water, running down river w/ a tail wind..

maybe on the trailer

I take offence to your comments. I owned a 25 Outlaw and no longer do, so what do you think my motivation would be to lie? I have a tight friend that owns, still, a 2003 Fountain 27 fever with an HO. No matter the condition I could creep away from him.

If you have owned a 25 Outlaw I take back my comments. I have never owned an "open bow" 28' (including swim platform) Sunsation, so you will never hear me comment on the speed, performance, etc. that it lacks.

Im just curious. I believe you but I wonder why my brother cant break 67 with a labbed prop by bblades? It wouldnt break 65 with a stock prop. I cant figure out why it would be slower?? I told him it was cuz he couldnt drive

Chris288

Neil,, I fail to see where I quoted your post ?? I certainly didn't insinuate you were a liar. The speeds of 25 O.L.'s w/ H.O. has been beaten to death over the years, thats what I was referring to. I personally know 2 people w/ 25 outlaws, w/ H.O.'s and they see 65-66 with half fuel and 2 people.. Fumes in the spring or fall they may see 68-69.. low 70's,, fine,, if thats what you say... Owned, driven, Been around, and demo'ed enough Baja's to know their speeds.. I don't own an " open bow " Sunsation 288...
