Top Speed EVER: 77mph (GPS) (will run 73 consistently)
RPMs: 6300-6500
Notes: Top speed ever, fully loaded, downriver, big flow.
Tried the same the next day with just me...couldn't drive the boat. Insane chinewalk and hitting pockets of swirling current.
How to get to 70? Have Rich Boger work work work your prop, clip the tach limiter wire, bring the timing up, mix your own fuel, elec fuel pump, and have a spare powerhead or two laying around.
Then, be content with 65mph when you get tired of working on it all the time.

SkeeterDD22, I think you need to get your eyes checked. Thats my Red Sox shirt you see and not quite sure why your questioning my speed, at least that is the vibe I get. Hell thats not even the fastest as I've hit 68 one perfect morning with light load.
Take a deep breath....now exhale....count to ten.....
Now, Now, wipe away those tears. It'll be okay.
Just a little joking around.
Not all that impressive though, my little Skeeter's gone well over 80 in the past. (had to slow down for the exit ramp though)
I think the new secret color is "A-Rig"..........
Hey, wait a minute.....Did you say "Red Sox" shirt?
Nahh, Not even gonna stir that.

i have a 07 21 i with the 250 hpdi and the stock 25 prop, it will barely hit 69ish with 2 people and full gear... i had a 04 zx250 that would do 75 -78 fully loaded the same... is there that much of a difference in speed for these 2 boats??
