I'd love to take a ride out there but I don't think that would be possible
However, I bet INDY (speed police guy
) would love to go for a quick spin!!! What do you think Steve???

Boat...what's that?
![Stick Out Tongue](/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Monday's been booked for a while, but 80 out of a 525 is pretty fast

BTW...Linster, I'm not offended, I don't even own a stinking boat at this time

Anyway, this is an optimistic board with 80 out of a 525 and 1 mph increase out of 12 hp...the glass seems half full these days!! I can't wait to get my new boat and take advantage of all these super performance advances in the past couple of years, and to think I thought the boating industry was full of crooks, liars, and incompetent morons

LIOPA, I could just be out of touch with the Nordic product line...did they make any significant changes to their laminiation process, hull design, or anything else that might account for better performance since my 2000 Heat? I'm reasonably sure that if you would have dropped a 525 in my 28 it might have achieved 74 or so. The people I knew with the same year 28s with 500EFIs were getting about 72 out of their top ends. Magazine articles around the same period came up with similar results for the 496HO and 500EFI...67 and 72 respectively. Also, a friend of Dave's and mine had the boat that was popped from the mold just before mine and he had 575 power and got 78 if I'm not mistaken (correct me if I'm wrong Dave).

Just a quick question...
Have you actually been on that boat and seen those numbers yourself or is this customer feedback?
Thanks,
Dave

78 was a best ever for Toby and 74-76 was the norm with a labbed 30. Steve Z can confirm these numbers.
I would be curious about rpm/prop set up on the 525EFI. I can tell you that a stock 28 Bravo at 5672rpm in optimum water is 81.1. The 525EFI rev limiter is at 5350 in the ECU so it would take a stock 30 on the rev limiter to duplicate an 80+ number.
Anything is possible I suppose but I would need to see it for myself

Guess I'm stubborn that way

Good bench racing though

You are correct. The boat ran a best of 76GPS with 30" labbed Bravo when I bought.
