Troutly,
I brought your question to our service manager and he stated that because the 525's are ecm controlled that the top speed will NOT change, he thinks that fred stated 85+ due to his testing on saltwater conditions, temps and driving habits, and the enviroment that he was in. We stand corrected!!
PS: we did see 82MPH on fresh water on GPS

Saltwater, 2-3' chop, light load, I think 85+ is possible. I'd rather a dealer under estimate speeds than over estimate.
The way this boat shows, I don't think the price is out of line. If you have the ability to afford this boat, then I think you have the skills to negotiate the price.
