Thanks Oregondunes that tells me what I would be looking at,40, 45mph I can deal with that I,m just so used to flying by people with my 22' 454mag but I think we would enjoy the Z302 alot.

Buy the boat. Swap the engines between the 2 and gain a few more!

[Oregondunes]

our motor upgrades include:

headers
re-map with 5150 rev limit (from 4400)
roller rockers
roller cam
roller lifters
502-525 intake/injectors

shooting for 400-450 hp to pull those 28p props to 5100 rpms

Brad97, I say just buy the boat, accept the speed it'll give, and enjoy it. Mariah's just aren't built to compete with GFBL boats, they're luxury boats!

I have a 2000 Z302 and its top speed on Speddometer shows about 34 and about 38-39 max on GPS. Engine had $10,500 dollars of repairs and was sold to me as basically a new engine. It does have a bravo 3 with a 26' pitch prop. I nweed any advice one might have on how to get some more speed?

Thanks in advance.

BTW I do love this boat..... Any info on a AC would be helpful too. I have pictures of one on the inside of the cabin but couldn't guess where the compressor would mount.
