    79.2 MPH

    Fastest she's been yet. That was with a little help from the tide. Running 76.5 MPH against tide. To many turns to let her really eat. That's with one person, half tank of fuel, live-wells empty and all fishing gear. Water Temp: 88.. Whats everybody running with the SHO. 721-250 HP

    Man that is AWESOME! Fastest I've gotten mine to is 76.7 GPS on nearly flat water and with much cooler water temps than you had.

    I'd love to get mine running that fast but think I may be loaded too heavy and with the big 36v TM, 4 big batteries, etc just may not be able to get her there but that is moving and I know you have to be super happy with that.

    John, that's what I call flying low to the ground in a 21' bass boat. Congrats!

    This is with four batteries. 8in. manual plate... I'm running the 27p vented prop. I tried the the non-vented prop for a week and never broke 77 MPH. The complaint with the vented prop has been blow out when getting on plane. I don,t have that so that's why I stayed with the vented. Now once the water cools down maybe that will be the case. IDK.

    You need to return your boat to the dealer- immediately! No reason for that rig to be running that fast! I just hope your dealer can help you in slowing a little.

    Sounds awesome!

    I'm hitting 73.5 at best. I do have a pair of power poles though. would that cost me that much speed?

    I don't think the pp. Would make that much diff...have you played with your engine height? Clinton, the video makes it ook a little closer than I really was.

    Re: 79.2 MPH (jon1637)

    ... i want to play

    719 & 225 SHO running the 25 ventless:

    73.6 with 2 guys, half a tank, 3 group 31 batts, 180 lbs tackle, ice chest full, 20+ rods, two 8' power poles, 94 degree water temp, and 94 degree air temp. Humid! 107 heat index.

    It's been a searing hot/humid summer in FL this year. Usually the boat runs in the 72.6-7 range loaded iup real heavy in the searing heat. rpm is right at 6,000 at an inch below pad.

    i sent Clinton a video today. Maybe he knows how to post it up??

    this motor is a beast. i cant wait for some cool crisp weather and maybe more prop or a b&b on this one.

    oh yea... 12-13 hours on the motor.
