With what hopefully is our last snow storm of the Winter yesterday I'm thinking about getting on the water and boating by April. I guess I should have left the cover on the grill !
Will try and figure out some more speeds with the Team Warlock 23 Offshores to add to my useless store of information.
So far it looks like this
330hp = 66mph 454 330 hp, Bravo 1 drive with 1:50 gears, nose cone, Mercury 23 three blade = 62mph with 4 adults
500hp = 83mph
525hp = 77mph spinning a Mirage 25p 3 blade turning 4900 RPM (ConQ's 23)
680hp = 91mph (best of 92.6 fastest in the US) spinning a Spinelli 28p 4 blade, (exact model unknown) turning 5750 RPM
*all of these speeds are in freshwater
