1998 PII Power Question Mariner 200 2.5 liter
Hello
Just bought a PII and it has Mariner 200 2.5 liter. Does anyone know what top end speed should be on this boat? I’m maxing out around 52 mph. I did a compression check when I bought it and it all checked out. I’m thinking I may need to raise the motor on the jack plate? Or maybe that is top end for a 2.5 liter?
Thanks for any comments on this..

Should run 70ish when propped/setup correctly. Assuming hull isn't carrying extra weight due to wet foam.
What prop?
25 P... how would you know if the foam is holding water?
The boat was garages kept and has not been stored outdoors... the motor had a 106 hours on it when I bought it.
You mentioned only getting 52 mph... What RPM is your motor turning at WOT? You defiantly have something going on.. Your PII should be a high 60's- 70 ish MPH rig.. I'd recommend getting it checked out by a qualified tech.
I'd think you should be able to turn a 25 trophy or tempest to 5800 and get about 70.
I have a 93 P II with 93 XRI 200 24p trophy getting 68-69 around 5800 rpm with 2 guys and a pretty good load
Something not right on that rig. I was seeing 60 with my 150.
Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!
