    Always happy to burn someone's fuel and show em a trick or two.

    For every hour I have behind the wheel of a Champ ol Pat has 20.

    97 202, 250 ProXS, 10” jack, 27” Tempest+ worked by Josh at Steves Prop shop, you can see other specs in my sig.

    Had Matt Mosher drive it at the 2015 TOC on Table Rock, he gave me a Champion demo ride, thanks again Matt! 72.2 GPS, Stuffed to the gills with everything I had, except my fishfinders, IIRC 2/3 to 3/4 gas, empty wells and let’s just say two stout boys.

    Want to go back and get further setup help, can't really find anyone in Cali to do it, (besides its nice to get out of Cali) and maybe another driving lesson. Matt says my 202 drives like a pussycat but chine walk at speed scares me, I think I’m the Pussy.

    I’m so surprised after relocating my gear in my 250 pro XS 206..75.1 on merc monitor 5860 rpms. Fury 25. I’ll post a photo on mercmonitor after I resize it. Previous top speed was 74.1 with Tempest plus 25.

    I don't know I get 72.4 at 3/4 throttle and stop lol. 1987 Superchamp 200EFI 25p trophy plus. I like 62 at around 5200 rpm. I can get 6000 but I'm not gonna do it lol. Its a great sight to watch a 17' 30yr old Champion with a 135HP cowling fly by the new boats HAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    Hardly ever are any two boats going to run the same. They may be pretty close but they may look just alike but react differently. That is with all brands it seems. My boat runs its fastest with a T-1 prop. But does fine with a four blade. And will not get out of its own way with a Tempest. Which is not the norm.
