Those are good numbers. We just got the first 36 yellowfin with the new 300's and the best we have seen is 65mph. There might be more to be had as our boat has a hardtop, 12kw radar, coffin box, and forward seating.

Good for Contender on the numbers. These motors are very impressive, and I am sure that they can only get better with the more they are dialed in.

Bill Cordes (Contender) mentioned the numbers should improve. They are going to adjust engine height etc. and truely dial it in.

I'll stay in touch with him for any updates.
