I know this is a hypothetical question, but humor me please. I know Don has mentioned the V6 is not for bass boats, but if you had a 225 V8 ProXs and the V6 four stroke on the exact same hull, with each being propped to their maximum ability. How much faster (approximately) would the V8 be? 5mphs +/-

I ask because my buddy had the V6 installed due to needing the saved weight and he’s disappointed in the speed. I tried to tell him what Don has said about the motor not being for bassboats, but the weight is a valid concern on this brand (Champion and their low transoms). He was expecting 67-68mph and I told him I thought 65mph, ended up at 63mph. Anyway, it’s more of a curiosity thing for us.

He does love everything about the motor, just disappointed in the speed. He was sticking with the “a 225hp is a 225hp, no matter what” mentality.
