    What are some top speed numbers?

    What are some confirmed solid numbers from the top end guys that they have recorded out of their Bullets. I know SUK35 hurt several feelings at a boat rally where the other brand was expected to take top dog. I was thinking he ran somewhere around 103. If I remember correctly he was also clocked at 108 in the same boat.

    Jerry Trapp has a video here somewhere of his 21SS doing 102 with a 300XS.

    I'm only running around 90 with my SST 300xs combo. Guess I got a way to go.

    These guys mentioned in the post, have their boats setup and tuned perfectly. I had a 21ss/300xs that ran well but I didn’t have enough seat time. Aaron(suk35) and I went fishing in my boat and he ran it 95+ With more to go, but I couldn’t take anymore. Scary feeling running that fast with no control of anything. Those boat flat out run!! I decided to get rid of my 21ss and get a sdc. Much easier for me to handle .

    Back in the 90's I use to get Bass & Walleye boat magazine. I think I remember a article where someone brought their boat to a test run they had set up with Bullet. I was thinking it was a 20xd and they got it up to 116 mph. I may have to go through storage and start looking for that article. Anyone remember that?

    I've only ran a 31 hydromotive for a big wheel. Need to unload the boat for the river run and play awhile

    My 20XRD/250 Merc Sport 1.62s has been a little over 90 occasionally with a very light load...after the first couple years of owning the boat I don’t “try” much on the speed side. I stay in the low 80s and roll on.....

    17’er...122 MPH
    20’er...119 MPH
    21’10”...111 MPH
    i haven’t ever really messed with a 19’er, but years ago before there was a GPS I ran one 91-92 on speedo...was probably around 87-88 MPH.

    I can't run my boat solo, it will lift the passenger side like crazy. I got lithium batteries and im 240lbs. My partner is around 205lbs and we put all the heavy gear on the passenger side and even with that sometimes on blast off i can feel the passenger side slightly high.

    I TN mounted my trolling motor now, that helped moved some weight the the passenger side. I can add weight to the passenger side and save the wind draft of a person, but from past experience i gain about 1mph doing that.

    Also keep in mind i'm doing these speeds with a 30p fishing prop. I'M sure with a 32p i could get 105+ pretty easy

    I been pretty much violating the prop forsale sections looking for a 32p Performer all summer. I was hoping to get one in time for this fall to try for big numbers.
