    Dont know what prop Kelly is running but a heavy boat at 74 at 5800 rpms is pretty impressive that would be in the theroy of a super good 25 pitch prop or a 27 Tempest.Just never know what loaded means 5 rods and 3 planos is loaded to some and 500 lbs of tackle is loaded to others.797 we saw 77 every time and it was loaded ,5 rods 4-5 boxes and 10 waters lol

    I also had Ulrich check the throttle cable, it is ok.
    Once you start trying different propellers I am sure you will get it where you want it. I wouldn’t think the Charger 210 would be slower than the Stratos 210.

    Dan was able to get 75 plus with a regular 250 Pro XS with the Stratos 210.

    Iam sure there is some wiggle room on speed but once you load it with 2 guys and 50 gal of fuel poles 4 graphs 4 battery and tackle your at 70 best .70 is not slow by no means and I think the ride would definitely off set the speed.Champs never were a speed boat a bullet ally stroker gambler is a speed boat.

    I believe Dan ran faster than 70 loaded with the Stratos 210.

    I know that the way Blake’s sets their 210’s up they run between 72 and 75 loaded according to what the owner told me.

    I do like the numbers that Kelly is posting. I don’t think they have even played around with props.

    Good number and it has 10 foot power poles. And it’s not in the cold of December or January.

    It takes some time but 75+ is achievable... Getting the prop worked is a must, balancing the boat, heavy items to the rear is key... Dan

    I can say I NEVER trust speeds off the internet!!!!
    Its like tv, the internet adds 3-6 mph

    What everyone seems to forget is we have fishing tournaments, not bass boat racing tournaments, can't remember how many times I have gone in behind other boats and caught fish. Maybe they where fishing to FAST!!!
