I can also claim a honest 75 with fuel and people on board. Absolute perfect conditions I have hit 80. These are GPS figures for a 380 Avenger.

See, you guys are cool. I can believe a 38' boat with 500 EFIs can run an honest 75 on gps. But when some little guy with a big boat tells me his boat is the best hull ever (38' Hustler) and it will run 98 on gps, I think he is tring to make up for something.

Hey-
It looks like www.hotboat.net did a test. I don't think it had stand-off boxes, but it shows 79.8Mph with HP500EFI's. Take a look at this link....they have a ton of boats on there.

96Vyper - To paraphrase PhantomChaos:
My 2000 FASTech 382 with 600DPX's will do 105MPH in the ocean, but I've never seen it do that. That's because I have the following:
200 gallons of gas = 1300lbs
20 gallons of fresh water = 160lbs
24 waters (12oz) = 18lbs
4 Bottles of wine = 12lbs
10 Diet Pepsi's = 9lbs
1 Bottle Captain Morgan = 4lbs
2 people = 400lbs
1 generator = 500lbs
1 TV/VCR = 50lbs
1 900W entertainment system = 35lbs
1 Refrigerator = 75lbs
1 7000BTU A/C unit = 150lbs
1 Potty holding tank = depends
1 60amp battery charger = 35lbs
1 Set of tools = 15lbs
1 Coast guard kit with flares = 3lbs
1 Anchor w/250' 1/2" line and 8' chain = 25lbs
1 Anchor w/150' 3/8" line and 3' chain = 15lbs
8 PFD's = 4lbs
1 Set of extra boat keys = .25lbs
1 Box of spares = 10 lbs
1 Bucket of cleaners, etc. = 20 lbs
5 Overnight bags (1 for me, 4 for her) = 80lbs
So.....with somewhat wrinkled props, I get 79MPH an GPS. If I start unbolting things and tossing them overboard, who knows? I just may see 105.

A friend of mine has the identical boat as C-Spray with Volvo 600's and DPX drives.
I have ran next to this boat a number of times. The winner is usually the one with the least amount of fuel in the tank. As a reference, I can run 81 when low on fuel, and around 78-79 with a load.

Guys, just for the heck of it, what does the 382 run with triple 500's or does the 382 fastech not allow triples?
Was the 419 the only Formula with triples?
