Seems like it should be higher than 7-8% how did you figure it out. It is a tripple engine boat too. The IMCO's have a pointy nose cone too. Also 82 is ringing it out, I can hit 79 - 80 easy with 4-5 people on board.
I have no x demension details. I know the 2000 had a diffeent hull than in past years I think they changed in 99. The newer 47's say 95 tops with 525's I would say it would be closer to 90.
