    2016 Zx? or older ones. I know older ones are a upper 60s when set up right. Hard pressed to get over 70, I have faith the new ones can break 70.

    Tourney partner has 2012 zx200 /sho 200 and with heavy load he is getting 66. But he has done nothing to help improve speed performance.

    I'm honestly not sure if they are 1 in the same, but I have a 2013 ZX20 with a 250 and 12" hydraulic jackplate that I have gotten to 73 under optimum conditions. I also have 2 Talons on the back. I'm not a speed freak, but I think the boat can run well enough with the crowd. I may be wrong, but my understanding is they are the same, or very close in comparison..

    I have a 2011 and I get 65-68 with the highest at 69. I've tried a few different FXP props and messed with the jackplate some but the best performance has been with the stock T25 prop.

    I have a 2014 with factory setup and consistently get between 64-66 with a partner, full tourney load, and 3/4 gas. I've hit 70.1 by myself in cold weather.

    Loaded with wife and gas and kids I get 56ish that's with a 06 zx200. Maybe someone with better gas on skills could do better in sure.

    I have a 2013 with Sho. I have hit 71 with tourney load and minimal chop on water in Ohio river. On Ky Lake I get about 67 at 5800 rpm with two people. I don't stack allot of weight in my boat or carry a ton of tackle. Most of my weight is in the front compartment centered in the boat with a few items in the forward compartment. I tend to only run about 48 to 52 mph 90% of the time though since I tend to fish spec areas and don't milk runs trying to find fish. If you are looking for speed, the motor will drink the gas for a four stroke. I realize a ton of fuel savings but I have not messed with jack plate to see if I can get any more efficiency.

    Good Luck,

    2016 zx200 27hrs. Stock prop 23 SHO No poles or talons 36v 112lbs minn Kota , Tried 5-8 dots so far just showing 8 best speed 69.3 6100rpm water 77. Air 80
    good chop Winds were 20-28 gust Dealer said it will still make power up to 100 hrs.

    Average 67 mph Full load about 150lbs of gear , full fuel

    Bought a FXP 24 but might need a 24 SHO instead.
    Haven't tested FXP yet. Will report results.

    Plain to add duel 12ft talons. This fall. So trying to get max before adding 130lbs of anchors.

    2010 ZX 200 with the 200 hpdi. I’m at 3000 ft most of the time so 63 mph is it. At close to sea level im at 65 with full tanks, tourney load and two chunky guys. I’m sure solo with 1/2 tank I’d be high 60’s at sea level.

    2013 ZX200. At full tournament load and tanks. I get 67@ 5800 rpms. However, I normally run 58-60 at 5000 rpms. I try not to get so close to WOT that much.

    This was my first high speed run during my break in. Right out of the box and nothing done to it. Full tank of gas and dual power poles.

    on average seems any zx200 with hpdi or sho from 07-now is gonna average 64-66 with a tourny load and 68-69 light and some touch 70. I do notice a 3mph and 250rpm difference in the summer months also in south la . I have an 08zx 200 with hpdi 200. Was able to hit 70 alone. Got 1 power pole and it went down to 69. with tourny load i would always seem to be at 66.6. lol. this summer i've notice i have dropped to 63-64 tourny load and 66-67 single. Waiting for the winter again to ensure its just the heat.

    I had a couple of ZX200s...never got 70gps...so expect 65-67 with best prop and a half tank...plenty fast IMHO...

    I have a 2016 ZX225 that struggles to hit 70 with a T-load and full tank...
