Hey everyone,
We just picked up a 28 w a 496HO running a 24p Bravo. I'm coming from 15 years in a Mach22, so forgive me for not having much to compare to.
We ran the boat really for the first time last weekend...with me and 2 fat guys and both tanks half full, the boat ran at about 58 mph. Can't recall rpms at speed. Couple of seconds to plane, with what seemed like a slight hesitation as speed picked up after planing. A couple of questions for those with experience with this boat:
1. Is that about what to expect for top speed with this setup? I don't care too much about that really, just wondering if this is normal/avg.
2. Anyone with tabs find that they're worth it performance-wise?
3. I'm thinking of trying a 22p for the times when I'm loaded down with bodies/etc. Anyone running a 22 on this boat?
I'm sure I'll have more questions...I guess I'm just wondering if this sounds right for this boat. Thanks in advance for any input/advice...
