I was just wondering how much more mph you get after the chine starts?

Depends on your setupSeriously, on my boat it starts at about 63-65. When I had a 225 Opti, I got about 8 MPH more. 250 Pro XS I got 15 MPH more. With current motor/setup up to 23 MPH more and still playing with it. I can drive it now but if I want, it will still walk at 63-65. It really is a boat factor more than what power.

I understand it's all about set up just wondering what you guys are getting
Well we don't even know what boat you own to give you comparable numbers........
My boat starts the chine at 69 and it is controlable ( spelling ) 2 3/4 below pad 25 tempest plus. don't know how much more because i don't have the nerve to see after it chines
Mine starts wanting to walk around 69 GPS. My top speed is 72 - 73 GPS. That's with a 2004 TR-20, 225 Regular Optimax, and a good load (full tank, my fat butt - 270 lbs, half of BPS and 1/4 of Tackle Warehouse).
I have a 2002 tr 21 with an 225 ox66 VMax with a tempest 25p not sure on p2p 6in jack plate i start to chine around 62 mph.
The boat will go 70-72 when you learn how to drive it.
Think his boat hull has been coated (Gorilla Hull maybe) so he might not see the same top speeds as other similar boats, but it will def go faster than 62 with proper driving.

Oh nooooooooooo. Gorilla hull the speed killer.
Never had a Triton that chine walks. Everyone says you drive through chine walk, the trick is to never let it start. The absolute worst time you can do is put the old death grip on the steering wheel. There are several you tube videos on driving boats. Hope that helps.
I guess ill take the protection over alittle on the top end
