Post your top speeds (Tritons only)

[phillipshunter]

2017 20TRX w/250 Pro XS. 2 poles, 4 group 27 batteries and 1 group 24, more tackle than needed but ready for a tournament, full tank of fuel and empty livewells. Doesn't matter which prop (Fury, Temptest Plus or trophy plus) or at what I height (I have a hydraulic plate), she ain't gonna break 72 going with the current and wind. 68-70 is normally all you will see on a good day.

I'd say it must be my boat but I know of several (9) within 2 hours of here that are just as bad or worse. We've run everything from 24P to 27P, worked, NIB and slightly used. I guess we got bad hulls or something based on the numbers I'm reading listed for comparable boats.

Any thoughts on getting more speed?

Just ran 25p Fury 3 on my 98 tr19 with 175xs. Ran 71 Gps @ 5900 rpms.

2017 TRX 20, Pro XS 250, 25 p Fury, 10 inch jack plate. Half tank of gas, only me in the boat. Best speed is 72 at 5800 RPM but very VERY squirrely above 68. Prop is 3 1/4 inches below pad; any higher and the hole shot is bad and it blows out badly. I thought about trying 2 1/2 inches below pad but I don't think it would even get on plane at that height.

Don't think you're gonna get more than 72. I agree with 68 to 70 being a realistic top speed for this boat.

Raising the Fury will only make it worse
I would suggest trying to lower it
Fury's don't like it high

68.3mph so far with just me, dual console and about 2/3 tank off gas, still have trim to go but need to sort out the walk first. I back out at 5350 rpm as the walk gets worse but I need to learn to steer it better. TRX 18 with 200 Pro Xs and 25 tempest plus

[Camaro]

I know every boat is different. My 98 tr19 runs 24 & 25p Fury's at 2.5 ptp. No rooster tail. If your 25p Fury is blowing out on hole shot I would use 1 large open plug. I think I would try 3" ptp then use 1 large open plug. The lower my motor was the harder it was to handle.

sounds like my boat at first but I have a 19xs w/ 225 merc. Top for me is 73.5. . I hardly see a triton perform at its best at over 3" ptp. I would try out a fury 25p 4 blade and raise your ptp to at least 3. You can try plugging you your 3 blade now if you have holeshot issues.

Given the load your running and the fact that’s not a bull designed with speed is the primary goal I’d say you’re doing pretty dern good.

I forgot to mention I do run three AGM battery so that could be some of the culprit

[Camaro]

You should be much faster than that.

What are your rpm's, ptp & wp @ wot?

[michael2277nh]

I am just curious what I 'should' be getting for speeds out of my boat and set up. It seems like it should be better than what I am currently getting. I have a 2004 Triton TR 20X, 2008 Mercury Opti 225, 2 Talons, 3 BlueTop batteries and Batteries Plus X-2 Cranking battery, small load, and I have Level 1 Mercmonitor. I also have the new Fury 24P 4 blade prop. I have a Hijacker 6" jack plate. The most I have gotten my boat too is around 65 MPH. Can anyone tell me what I 'SHOULD" be getting with my boat? I feel I should be hitting 70+ at least with my hull and motor. I had my compression checked and all between 100 and 110. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Michael

2005 Tr21X SC w/ 250 Verado

fastest recorded was 76.8 gps full tank of gas full tournament load with only myself but have run 78 with a little more room but I had no fuel no gear and only me by myself but cant claim it because it was via speedometer after I installed new poles, humminbirds and hydrolic jack plate I hit my fastest this weekend right under 75 with 31 gal of fuel and tournament load

[jbtriton80]

2017 Triton 20 TRX Pat. 3 quarter tank of gas, heavy tackle load. Mercury 250 pro xs, 25 fury, 10 inch z lock. 72 mph/gps at 5650. My boat does not walk much at all.

Going to try a 25 tempest, imho they perform better on this boat. I can not go up much more on my plate.

[19trx Patriot]

have a 2018 Triton19trx with a Mercury 225hp Optimax.
I am using a Fury 3 blade 24p with two power pole blades and 4 batteries.
Hole shot is good, but I am getting only 60mph and my analog rpms r over 6000 based on the analog tachometer.
I am thinking I need a 25p Fury or higher. Any suggestions?
