Friend in need

[toddandy]

I've got a friend in my bass club,that has a 2000 20SS extreme with a Johnny 225HO motor.....I don't thnk he's got a plate,nor do I know his engine height.......he's running a 26 tempest prop.

All he's wondering is,what's a good top speed for that rig....right now,he gets 73-74 light with one guy...with 2 guys tourney loaded,he's still at near 70.

I know I don't have much info on his setup,but just wanted some feedback from you guys.

Thanks in advance...except you,Steve

Well put it this way i have a 2001 21 ssextreme with a jack plate 2004 225 HO Evinrude with a 28" Raker and i'm seeing 73mph gps 2 people 1/2 tank fuel and tourney load...So he's there right where he should be...chris

BMBWA Adolph that is why you drive a second rate cousin to a stratos. want to put pink slips against each other in a race? or better yet in a fishing contest on Lake russell? what you say adolph?

He's pretty good Todd. Maybe a tweak or 2 but not worth the extra $$. I feel jilted.

Thanks Fred.....I knew he was pretty close,but his brother has a 2006 201 with 225HO etec that kicks his butt......I said I'd ask for him,as he feels a smaller boat with a pretty strong motor should be close on speed.

Steve.....You sure do always add a ray of sunshine with your posts....geez.....I think it's time for a diaper change

The difference is the motor. If he put a 225HO E-Tec on his 20SS his brother would not kick his butt any more.

Those speeds are good for that combo. Same setup I had and mine was actually a hair slower. He should be happy. Todd if you want to race Steve you can borrow my boat anytime. I can't promise it, but it might edge him out in a race...

Thanks Billy....but I'd rather not waste the gas.....plus,he might remember the last time he was going to whoop up on all of us at Russell.....I don't remember losing any money to him
