    2019 Z19 speeds

    Can you guys post GPS speeds of your 2019 or 2020 Z19's top speeds with what loads, and prop your using?

    Thanks

    See my post here. http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=981366 Since then I am over the 10hr break-in and hit 70 onetime for a few seconds, and 68-69 couple of times now by myself. But, have to drive thru the chinewalk to do it.

    Last weekend in 90 degree air temps with 30 gallons of fuel and a one man tournament load I ran between 64.5 and 66 gps depending whether I was up or down wind. I'm running a 23P Fury at 3.25" below pad. I should easily see 68 mph during the winter and early spring with this setup. I would like to try a 24P Tempest plus.

    I would agree with post from above.
    Speeds about 66 to about 70... Wants to start walking at 67.5.
    Speedometer does not work. Speed from GPS.
    Loaded full tackle, full live wells, one man.
    Moved all tackle to trolling motor side rod locker. Put poles on drivers side, not much
    help.
    With this 4 stroke, it jumps out of the hole, and has plenty of torque through the power band.
    Like others still have the factory fury prop, slightly raised the engine.
    Thinking about trying a 4 bladed fury.

    I have a 2019 Z19 tried to open it up but with summer traffic have not been able to do so yet. I had a 1997 procraft 180 bass with a 150 mariner. I had it about 65 with no chine walking. So now with this new boat i have to learn how to drive it. Chine walking is new to me and i need to have more seat time to learn how to drive through it. Best i have seen so far is 66. something on the gps. I am going to try here after the summer traffic is off the water. I am running a 23p fury not sure of the height and a manual jack plate.

    90+ degree air temp full tournament load 2 people 3/4 tank of gas 1 full live well motor at whatever the factory set it at and a 24p fury, best I've got was 66.5 at 5900 rpm. By myself it starts to chine walk at about 62 so havent tried to go any faster than that until I get more comfortable with it

    I measured my PTP and i am sitting about 4 i am going to move it up to about 3 1/2. I hope that this will help my chine walking a little and maybe get more speed. At WOT i am seeing about 25 psi. I am currently seeing 66.4 driving through some walking and i have no rooster tail. If i trim it much more as it is the walking is so bad it makes you pucker. From the posts that i am seeing on here it sounds to me that my motor is way to low. Does anybody else with a 2019 Z19 have any helpful tips? I am going to the lake tomorrow (Wednesday) to see what happens.

    Well went to the lake and did some playing. At 3 1/2" ptp chine walk seemed to be a little better but the speed didn't seem good so went to 3 1/4" and seemed to loose rpm's and speed. so I moved it back to 4" and will do some more research. Maybe i should have stayed at 3 1/2" but it's not hard to move it back.
