24 ft SC

Yea, I've seen 65.3 GPS with mine. I'm making 502 HP at the flywheel, probably around 475-480 at the prop. My outdrive is too deep and I could probably get a couple more MPH with the right drive height. I don't believe the 70 MPH with twin 200s. The Seavette is a heavy boat and I believe that it would take 600+ HP to get it to run 70 MPH.

my sceptre would run 65 on the gps with 250 mercs,maybe faster without the top only got 58 with 200's next run will
be with 150 optis 250's were fun though

Yeh, Thats about what I figured. My friend had 2 - 200hp
Merc 2-strokes on his 23 SeaCraft CC and he topped out at about 58 mph also....
Still plenty fast!!

Yeah, but I seem to remember her being so tail heavy, you had to power her off the trailer while launching at the ramp. Really fun watching her on the pins though. I also noticed NoBones left with his pink slip. This leaves me wondering if the stoplight serenade was a Calcutta. I`ll let the Captains sort this out at the dock.

I would guess high mid 50's with that rig . . . unless the motors had some work done. 2.4L powerheads can produce 250hp + with some mods and at 363lbs each you might get into the 60's. Those motors in stock form will cut out at 5800rpm because of the idle stabilizer/spark advance module which means you'd have to be running at least 28pitch choppers to hit 70 with stock 1.87 ratio lowers.
