Hi Pat. Just a couple of questions about my 190SX Fish & Ski. I read you post on champion history and find it quite interesting.

1. Did Dave Schlick design the 190SX hull?

2. Is the 190SX hull a deeper V than the 190DC or 191? The ride is great!

3. Does my 2001 Mercury 200 EFI 2.5L have a rev limiter? I have heard different stories about this. I once tried a 23 Tempest and it ran 6100 RPM @ 65.7 mph. It seems this engine makes good power even beyond 5800.

I usually run a 24 Trophy 66-67 mph @5800. The 24 Trophy performs and handles fantastic on my rig. I have an R&R slidemaster jackplate with 8" of set back. Propshaft 3.25 - 3.5 below pad. Just a trace of chinewalk at WOT and max trim with a lght load. Lift is phenominal and water pressure #15 PSI (18 with new impeller)

4. How do you think a 24 Fury would work? How about a 24 Tempest? (My guess the Fury would not be the best for this hull and 2.5L motor).

5. I Love this boat and want to keep it for life. Knowing someday I might need to repower, will this boat take the 505lb weight of the newer DFI 200's?

I know this was a long post. Thank your for your time and thoughts!
