wow i am surprised they did not alter that report to make it look good. that boat should run high 80's low 90's...I'll bet there is something wrong with the bottom of that boat. It seems like the newer boats ...2000 on...have the most problems with bad bottoms. my 97 was blue printed at fpm and there was very little wrong with it on the other hand there was a 2000 47 that gained 5 mph just by blue printing the bottom.it costs about 5000.00 on the average.

$5000 for 5mph on a 47,,,,,,,,, that sounds like money well spent.
