Top Gun Speed
Just got my new (to me ) Top Gun Home and was suprised at the test . In fact I am going to do it again today because I was not expecting the speeds.
1998 Top Gun FULL CABIN
Non Step
4 people
1/3 fuel in both tanks
Twin Merc. 600SC's (rebuilt by Innovation 647 H.P. Each)
68 degrees
Light chop
Garmin GPS says 72.4 knots = 83.2 MPH
Really thought I would be in the mid 70's !!!

Fill the tanks and raise the temp to 95 and humuidity in the 80% range and you'll be high 70's to 80.
Motors love that dense air!!! Sounds like you are enjoying the ride. Congrats!

Props 28
RPM was at 5200
Xr's are next and the boost on the SC's goes up a little, then I sell it at the end of the season and buy Fred's Tiger
