    All you have to do is turn the graph on and drive down the highway.

    I am impressed...my 2016 is in dealer prep until 5pm tomorrow...then we tow her home for the 1st time !!!
    if she cruises at 70gps full full full load I am a happy camper! (Maybe that re-worked prop Croxton sent will be better
    than the stock one...humm)

    You're doing something wrong. You should break 70mph easy. Mine ran 75mph with a stock set-up. I'm still experimenting with non-Yamaha props. I plan to get it back over 75mph after some tweaking. I'm not gonna do that while the water is still hard though!
    Gitcha Bass On!

    Randy that's smoking numbers! Are you coming up on rev limiter? How many RPM's she running? That makes me want to run a 26 on my 250. Nice job!

    Top was 6050ish, bottom was on limiter thats what slowed me down. I actually tried a 27T1 cupped on a light load, ran at 6100 but not faster, too much work and $$$ to get better numbers. My B&B 25T1 is 74-75 in summer, but hit limiter quick in cooler weather.
