62.4?? That really sounds like the boat is under speed for some reason. I've been shopping the 28 for some time now and the slowest I've seen it clocked was 65.3mph with the (502mag-mpi and 4850rpm) in the latest edition of PB mag. Even that sounds like the prop is a dog looking at those rpm. ***boat mag a number of months ago clocked 68.4 radar with a 454mag. They come stock with a 24P Bravo-1 so it's surprising he's performing so poorly with a lab 24P. Is he packing a lot of junk in the cuddy and what rpm is he getting? What year is the boat and where does he put in? Is there altitude considerations?
As a reference point my buddy took delivery of a Donzi 26ZX with a 496HO and he got 64mph (Garmin-12 handheld) despite weighing in at around 5300lbs. That was with a stock 24P Bravo that was a dog and only giving him 4700rpm (he's negotiating another prop from Donzi). Has he tried contacting David Hare at Sunsation to quiz him on what he should be expecting performance wise?....
