    Very solid.

    I am hopeful my 2017 Z521c will run that well. I have no Talon's (my lake too deep), 250SHO and running 1/31 AGM + 3x Relion batteries. Boat is still a month and a half away.

    Thank you Rangerred I've worked on this set up to max it out but if I shave some weight hoping for 73 to 74 I think 73 is possible on a z521c my hull just runs strong.

    Good numbers. I have a Z521 with the Evinrude 250 G2 and top out at 72mph with a full tank, dual power poles and just me. I'm still playing with props and trying to tweak it.

    Not sure who you're asking but my jackplate is all the way down. I've never measured prop to pad but maybe I should.

    I'm running the plate on 8 and this is my best yet it's just where my hull likes it, 4 blade prop these are good numbers.
