232 with a 496 (375hp)
Hey Guys,
I just bought my first performance boat. A new 2002 232 with 496 (375hp). Boat is scheduled to be manufactured first week of April and deliver around last week of April. What type of numbers do you think I can expect? Do you think I will see 70mph under normal (two adults, some gear, 1/2 tank of gas) operating conditions? If not, what type of Modifications could I do to hit 70?
I'm lookin to have an honest 70mph boat. I would sure appreciate any advice you might want to offer.

I think you will be about 66-68 mph you could do the package from arizonia speed and marine it is supposed to be worth 4-6 mph ,and then go up a pitch and lab your prop

Labbing your prop cost about $200 and will give 2-4 mph and 200-400 rpm e-mail Byron at BRONSON HILL PROPELLERS and he can give you the specifics www.propellersonline.com
