But I just got my Dragonfire pipe and fuel controller for my Can Am 1000cc Commander side by side so that should be fun. I have hit 74 in that .

I just saw a 28 foot Bennington with a 496 in it on BoatCrazy or BoatTrader a few days ago. Had a speed sucking Bravo III outdrive, so it wouldn't have been a 496 mag. 55 would be questionable on that one. A 496 mag and a Bravo One, no doubt!!!pond tuuunes wrote:I think Bennington still makes big block pontoons, but I think they only run 55 mph about. JT

You're starting to kiill me! I can see boat shopping in my future again, I have just had the Premier for a year now! I may call Greg up at Manitou and re-start our Big Block/Dual helm-full windshield conversation from awhile back.
DAMN IT JT!!!

SouthBays are known for kickin out some speed. I don't doubt that one bit. Propped correctly and engine height set up properly. They are a contender!keosports wrote:southbay had a 26ft with a 250 vmax at the Palm Beach boat show that they claim did 58mph
If you review all the tests done by third parties there is no way that I would believe this-Maybe 48mph. If they claim this ask them if they will give a 25% discountkeosports wrote:southbay had a 26ft with a 250 vmax at the Palm Beach boat show that they claim did 58mph

if it doesn't -on GPS of course.
For what its worth South Bay still makes the Trifecta 900 series with the 600hp Big Block option. Saw a new one on Keystone in March and he has hit 63.7 on his GPS. I did not ask him if it was modded in any way. I will say this, it was by far the best sounding boat I have ever heard.smoker62 wrote:fasttoons wrote:If you review all the tests done by third parties there is no way that I would believe this-Maybe 48mph.

Yeah, funny, on Southbays own site they have a video of their sweet 925 Sport Trifecta model with a 225 Verado on it . Shows a top speed of 41.3 on their test graph. A far stretch from 58 even with the 250 on it.
