Try Mercury Parts express, not sure if it covers the Hiperformance stuff or not, go to parts and enter your serial#

Or your local Mercury dealer.
The factory manuals are much better than the aftermarket ones in my opinion.

Ironman we used to race a 30ft Tempest and it ran almost 80 with 2.5efi's on it. Best we ever saw was 86 with one guy light on fuel. Added a person and it dropped to 82. Fuel back into the 70's again

Ironman,
My boat tops out at 75 mph. and thats with a conservative set -up. If I set the motors back and raise them I could see better speeds . But It's a great rough water boat. I really like it alot.

Hey!! new to the board-It's pretty cool to be amongst superboat owners.I had to add my nickles worth to this post as it struck a chord.I had an 84 24' that I rigged twins 200's on.....what a fun boat!!!Unfortunatley I did'nt own a gps at the time but the keller speedo in it was vey disappointing for a couple seasons until I accidently found the perfect set up for that hull.Initially it would run a very scary indicated 71 with lots of bow steer.After getting some seat time and figuring out exactly what the hull was doing,I switched the lowers to turn in,a set of bobs 6" manual plates and the prop heights at 1 1/4" below the bottom the boat was an absolute rocket....83 indicated.Let me tell you there were alotof disappointed "raceboat" owners that tried to tangle with it. btw it would spin 14 3/8 x28 s&s choppers 6400 rpms.I ended up selling the hull and stepping up to a 30 (the one in superboat classifeds that was supposed to be removed last summer?) thats a different story for another day....If anyones got setup questions for a 24 just e-mail,would love to help...stick4406
