4600 RPM = 80 GPS
4800 RPM = 85 GPS
5400 RPM = 95 GPS
This is on relativly lake style water. A 6" chop would help allways.
On the dog summer days 98 degrees & 100% humidity I could only get about 92. I needed a good cool day to get 95. My engines dyno'd at 575HP. Not too much over the 525's which I hear get about 535-540. I always have a good amount of fuel and plenty of adult refreshments on board.
Also, The 35 likes Labbed props, I also think the nose cones add a mile or so over 90.

Hey Linnie,
Nice avatar upgrade
Have you figured out how to get that little fridge of yours on board yet
Hell my 496HOs will turn the 28s to 5100 right at 80. Definitely need more prop than they had with that setup

5200 RPM's cool dry air 65-68 degrees and 2 foot ocean chop. 4 people on the boat with almost full gas tanks.

Have not done anything on my boat yet. Waiting to start after Holidays. Finished one of my buddies 500EFI's and bot the second one ready for accessories.
LIOPA, Sounds good. I still think Nordic should spend more time on a test boat before they send it off. I'm really glad to here they are going to start some inprovements. A little tweaking and they can have an Ultimate boat line. They probally will charge for that as well.

LOL....but of course they will
Yeah status quo for now but I understand that the windshields are gonna go.........I hope they adopt a better design like maybe the DRAGON or Fountain wrap arounds.
