Dan 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2011 My 282 has got the twin Mercruiser 5.0 Bravo III's. I found the attached chart from a Volvo Penta powered 282 on Boattest.com. Would my Mercruisers number be very comparable? . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rip5 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2011 There is very little performance difference between the Volvo DP and Merc BIII with similar engines. IF those numbers are correct, your performance would be similar. I doubt very much you will get 47mph at WOT out of the 282CR with 5.0L engines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I first got my boat, I was able to get 52 mph on my GPS. 4 years later, all loaded up, I can easily run at 45mph. I rarely do it as I don't like to push it that hard.
