What's Everyone Getting Out of A Z118

[somerdink]

Just want to know what you guys are getting out of a Z 118 with a pro XS 150?

Thanks Ryan

Had mine out today. 58.5 with full gas tanks and livewells. By myself. No jack plate. 5450 rpm.

Most of the time loaded mid fifties and light would be upper fifties.

55-58 depending on load

59 max on gps, no jackplate, alone, full wells, 1/2 tank of gas, & a bunch of gear. It'll do low 50's easy. Not sure how much gain you'd see with a jackplate.

Took her out this weekend.....

62.4 @ 5700rpm with 1/2 tank gas, me and my gear.
I have an 8" jack plate, prop is 3 1/4" below pad, 23 tempest plus.

That's the fastest I've heard for this boat/motor. Nicely done. That jackplate turned out to be a good investment.

The 8 inch jack plate helps this hull out a lot, but at 62.4 that is some awsome speeds right there, would not touch one thing on that rig.

Is your Tempest stock?
Or, had it been tweaked?

[nojretlas]

Stock prop....I was only able to hit that the one trip.

Last time out I couldn't get past 60 but the weather was a little rough for top speed.

That jackplate really helps the hull out alot!

KEWL!

Sounds like you're borderline perfection on your Z setup. Don't touch that prop. Find a Tempest and have it tweaked for your spare. If you like the tweaked one better Sweet, if not, oh well. Sounds like you got a winner right out of the box.
