Re: fastest 288
thanks for all the info guys just thinking about what top speeds a 288 mcob could "burst" too? i dont think it would be out of the question too think a properly set up 700 merc motor in the right drivers hands would be possible too hit 90 . any thoughts ?

600sci + pulse drive = sweet(reliable) sun 288

This past week-end ...we have the Radar Shootout at our lake .....and i made 79 Mph ...(79.3 GPS) with a stock 525 .....i can`t just imagine this thing run at 90 Mph ...you need to have a perfect condition !!!!!
But i love this puppy .....maybe after more hour running (i have only 25 Hrs)...i be able to handle this kind of speed

Re: fastest 288
What drive are you looking at? I really think you would need 750-800hp to go 90. My boat ran 90.6 (before I owned it) and I believe it was close to 800hp with a bravo 1 at the time. The newer hull should be a little faster but a beefier drive will also take more HP...my estimate......85-86 with a 700. Remember it takes more HP the faster you go to get each MPH. If a 525 will run 80, they usually dyno at about 540 I believe, then at 20hp per mile an hour you would need about 740. I think you need more then 20hp per mph when you get up in the high 80's. Probably more like 30 per mph.
By the way it doesnt matter, mid 80's is smokin fast in a 288!
I think you should do it though...
charlie111 check your PM box.
