Re: 31SS Speeds
Went out last Friday in friends new 04 w/496ho's

With full fuel two on board labbed 28's 77.6 .I can see 80 is very real
with a light fuel load. Speedo was reading in middle 80's
There were 2-4 footers.

MERC DID THE PROPS. WHEN THEY WERE FINISHED WE HAD THEM LEAVE IN SOME OF THE CUP AS TO HELP FUEL MILEAGE AT CRUISING SPEEDS. WE ARE ABLE TO STAY ON PLANE @ 2600RPM & 30 PLUS MPH. THE BOATS RUNS 77.8 @ 5000 RPM ON GPS, SPEEDO READS 86 MPH.iN A SHORT RUN. THE BOAT CRUISES 45MPH @ 3000RPM. WE WILL TRY LAB 30'S AT SOME POINT, I THINK IT COULD HANDLE THEM BECAUSE THE ENGINES KEEP PULLING. SPEED #'S ARE WITH FULL FUEL TANKS,,WATER,GEAR & TWO PEOPLE SMILING. (EXCEPT WHEN ROADRUNNER WAS BOUNCING AROUND THE CABIN, SORRY BUD) AND, WE ARE STILL IN BREAK IN MODE.
