Realstic numbers - one person half a tank - and tournament loaded full livewells - what to expect
72-74 is realistic
perfect:) I'm still doing break in - I've only gotten her up to around 65
1 person half a tank, 75 full tx load full wells 2 people 70.
Perfect:) that is what I was hoping for! I've read posts where some say 65mph some say 69mph some say low 70's - I suppose the low end top speeds are guys that don't have a hydraulic jack plate and just don't have there engine set up right if it is on a manual jack plate to high or to low etc
Best speeds for me are 3.25 on tape, on the gauge but that should be 9 or 10.
thanks, brother!
It mostly depends on how much weight you carry. Realistically, you can expect to run 75mph solo, and 70mph tournament loaded.
I can run 75+ solo, and 70 T-loaded with a partner. I don't use Yamaha props though. The T-1 might be a little faster.
With the original 25p T-1, I couldn't run WOT solo, because it would go way over 6000 rpms. I would normally stop at at 6000 rpms, and about 73-74 mph. I accidentally ran it up to 6200 rpms and 75.3mph once. The computer recorded it too. With a T-load, I got up to 69mph, but still had a little left.

I might argue against that. You would have to be a really good driver without the hydro plate. Without the hydro plate, I wouldn't be able to drive this boat over 73mph. It was absolutely out of control with the T-1 until I lifted the motor. Then again, I might not be a "good driver". That's mostly why I run a Tempest now.

I got mine up to 73mph GPS today I was at 6000 rpms on the dot. I have a 25 t2 prop. I prob could've raised the jack plate or lower it some think I was on 7 or 8 on digital gage
I still learning how to drive her she did start to get a lil squirmy at 72
