    Post your top speeds (Tritons only)

    I thought it would be fun to hear some of the different models and motor combo top speed numbers.

    (Please only post real numbers)

    I will start.

    06 TR21X DC
    06 Mercury 225 Pro XS
    6 in jack plate
    Best to date but still testing 77.78 GPS
    Half tank of fuel and light tourney load.. one person.

    Re: Post your top speeds (Paul L.)

    I'll post one for the tin Triton guys.
    02 V176 Mag
    04 Mercury Opti 90
    No jack plate
    Best to date 51.8 gps, 5800 rpm with a bit of throttle left
    Full tank of fuel plus gear, empty livewells, one person
    Somebody has to be at the back of the pack!

    2018 Ranger RT188 SC Black/115 hp Yamaha SHO 4-stroke; Garmin LVS34 - north
    2018 Ranger RT188 DC Black/115 hp Merc Pro XS 4-stroke; Garmin LVS34 - south
    14' Mirrorcraft tin boat (ancient) with a 9.9 Mercury 4-stroke, no electronics; catches fish anyway

    Re: Post your top speeds (tcesni)

    04 TR21XDC
    04 250XS Merc
    10 Hydraulic Detwiler
    27 Trophy (worked by Mark)

    80.4GPS
    Me alone, full tackle, 1/2 tank fuel
    Prop shaft 2 1/4" to 2 1/2" below pad, it's hydraulic I move it!
    Indicated RPM 6000
    Pretty much perfect conditions 60 degrees, slight chop.
    For the record, it'll do 77-78 anytime, with two people, I've only gone over 80 once, by myself!

    05 TR196
    05 200 Opti
    6" j/p + 2" spacers
    3" below the pad
    26p Trophy
    Full load of tackle, rods, anchors, spare prop, 3/4 tank of gas, by myself but full port livewell.

    05 21X DC
    05 Mercury 225 Optimax
    8" T&H Manual Jackplate
    Power Tech 25" TR04 (not worked)
    71.6 mph (GPS) @ 2 3/8" below the pad

    With a 25" Tempest Plus 69.4 @ 2 7/8" below the pad hit rev limiter
    With a 26" Tempest Plus 70.3 @ 2 7/8" below the pad hit rev limiter
    Update-got to 71.0 even with the 26" Tempest on 5/13 and didn't hit the limiter.
    All speeds are with 3/4 tank or more with full load and two people.
    One of the two props is going to Mark to get worked.

    Re: Post your top speeds (markm)

    '04 21X single console
    '04 Merc 250XS
    Worked 27" Trophy

    2 guys w/ tourney load = 78-79

    Top speed with just me, 1/2 tank, and medium fishing load = 80-81 and some change.

    Fastest speed to date is 82.1 on the X-15, but the conditions were perfect. 55 degrees, 4 inch chop, going with the wind, and very light on fuel.
