I tried the 25 Tempest last week in less than optimal conditions...same people in the boat a little more fuel and got 70.xx MPH and it was still climbing slowly but ran out of water. Ran best on 4-5 on the plate.
I have a 24 Fury but can only manage 69mph with the same scenario and it feels really squirrely on top where the 25 Tempest felt much better carrying the boat. I just don't think I can see 73 with a 24 Fury on my boat but maybe I'm just not there yet.
Thoughts?
