[drpete3]

[...]Really? Your just being an azz w a statement like that

[CRC]

bajabob, just ignore remarks like that. My Donzi 22 Classic ran 73-75 with the stock 496 HO. I repowered with a low hour HP525 EFI and Bravo XR and have hit 85.8 and I think I'll find a little more. Here is a vid of a quick run up over 80 on Lake Erie: (all gps speeds)(some gauges are out because the ECU wasn't flashed yet)

[BBB725]

I had a 32 sunsation stock 454s ran 67, repowered it with 625hp 598ci motors new speed was 98mph

[MahopacMarine]

Livewire has a 2008 Sunsation 288 MCOB stock was powered with a 496 MAG HO running 67-68. He upgraded with a Whipple and XR Drive. He is running 79-81. All GPS. We are now in the process of upgrading again with a Raylar bottom end and heads along with his Whipple setup. He is looking for a conservative 725-750 HP. We will keep you updated on the speeds when this white stuff goes away:)

[MahopacMarine]

One of our clients has a 2009 Sunsation 32 SSR Limited with twin 600 SCi's. Not much more to upgrade on those from the 496 MAG HO's. Boat runs into the 100 mark.

[MahopacMarine]

One of our other customers upgraded from a 496 MAG HO to a 525 in another Sunny 288 MCOB. Boat went from 67-68 to 80-82. XR Drive and Hydraulic Steering as well.

Not sure what your asking for but ? As Mahopac Marine stated My 08' 288 ran 70ish with the stock 496 HO 425hp . I increased the HP to around 625 and picked up 10mph . I am currently building another motor which is expected to be around 725hp and I am expecting another 5 mph which should get me close to 85ish . Hope that helps , Good luck

did you guys ever dial in a top speed?

[MahopacMarine]

did you guys ever dial in a top speed?

100.4 until we stopped testing. The customer was happy with that since he broke the century mark and got busy with business. That thing accelerates unbelievably though :driving::willy_nilly:

what new boat????:rolleyes::sifone:

[Sunsation96]

Mahopac is always doing things big in the NY always wanting to go faster and thinking outside the box which I think has pushed the business to what it is today. Look at the 288 with the 525 that thing is crazy fast! I have never felt power like that even in a car.

Stock = 2002 232 Baja with 496mag, 67mph
Upgrade = 2006 Dominator SS twin 496/HO, low 80's

How is that for an upgrade Bob? See you in a few months! :driving::driving:

What could one expect to see with a 2005 or newer 288 MCOB with 650HP N/A.....mid 80's?

I would say that would be a fair guess. For reference.....


With Stock 496 - Seeing 66 to 68 mph
With Stock 525 - Seeing 80 to 82 mph (Typically 570hp at crank with good tuning)
The one whippled 525 MCOB I've read about (approaching 800HP) - Barely breaking 90mph

Good info, been thinking more and more of getting one and curious of what to expect. I currently have a Raylar HO 600 which I would keep for future boat that dyno'd @ 660. How stable is this boat with the power and how do they react to say an extension box or IMCO shortened lower as I also have both I would like or can use on future boat. I have asked similar question on the Sunsation forum with limited response.

[Ratickle]

I doubt very much anyone has tested the maximum limits of the design with extensions and shorties.

I'll do some checking and searching.....

[Ratickle]

Have you called Charlie up at Mohopac? He says the whippled one handled great at 90...

From the Sunsation forum....
