Just wondering was this on a river I know my boat runs 3mph faster down with the current than against it also your motor might have been redone by previous owner and made more than 330 not calling you a liar just most 272 with 454,502 seem to run 63-65 so you gotta see how it sounds hard to believe

we bought it new,,,,,,,the wife reminded me they called ours a " freak of nature "

Grand Sport said now way we could turn a 23 Mirage Plus with a 330 HP,,,,,,but it did right to the rev limiter

not a river,,,,,,but we ran the ship canal off lake michigan
