edit: I don’t have p.poles and I’m not running a full tournament load. I think 63-65 would be all I could squeak out like that. The gator hull really grabs water when it’s got some weight against it.

I had a 200 Elite with a 225. Tournament load & two guys it would run 66mph. Pretty similar to the 198. I had a Champion 210 with a 250 SHO it was a consistent low 70’s boat.
Take your cap lock off
Well sounds like my Honda wasnt that far off the norm with what Im hearing!!!
Kelly likes to type in all caps! People always gotta find something wrong...don't they??? What's the difference anyway?
I do it all of the time too!
On forum boards like this, all caps indicates yelling and it's kinda difficult to read....What's the difference anyway?
Maybe he was yelling! Elementary education usually solves the "difficult to read" issue.
My 198/225 Opti runs 71.9...empty wells, 2 not small people, half tank of fuel, full tourney gear load, no power poles.
Is there any difference in the Charger 210 and the Champ 210 that would affect performance? I keep hearing chine walking. I had an 08 that was 1 finger smooth til 77ish. I had a 300xs. From what I've always heard 300 vs 250 is 5mph max. I could fish with just about any load at 75. My best speed light and zero gear was 79.2. It was a 76-77 fishing boat. That would put a 250 right there where Kelly said 71-73.
+1 I have the exact same setup tournament load 75-76 all day with 300XS. Waiting on new 250XS
the guy who sold me my 198/225pro xs said he ran 73 -74 mph
i put a new 225 p sx on in 2013
best ive ever got was 69.7mph
light load no water and the dog
a friend of mine has a 210/250pro sx and he's around 75mph
Couldn’t wait for the new mercury. Repowered with the Yamaha 250 sho. Did the break in today, had it up to 72.5 with tournament load live wells full. Pretty sure I can get 1-2 more out of her with a longer run. Should be 75-76 light and lower air temps.
Im running a fury 24p 3 blade as Kelly recommended for this setup. He was dead on his speed prediction.
I get 62 with tournament load and 67 by myself. 250 Honda/ 210 elite .. fury 25”
stock honda prop just can’t come close... honest speeds with no current/wind
I got a tempest plus 25 to run this week. Hopefully will get it on tomorrow, results to follow.
Looking forward to your results, legend
