Maybe I should go in for a spring tune up and accidentally trade in for that 242.

I like the models before the connext. I feel like an old man when i say that but electronics are just unnecessarily complicated. It needs to go faster when i put the throttle forward and slower when i pull it back. Other than that i want a radio. My goodness what's happened to me? I have a bs in cs and i just said that?

My guess is that the mid 50s are on the factory dream o meter. Either that or he has the worlds fastest 230.

 

[Beachbummer]

Maybe mid 50s is an age?

If you are 70, open WOT you feel mid 50s

I've got a BS in EE and I feel the same way. Probably because I've seen the (sometimes catastrophic) results of electronics failing. There isn't much on my boat I couldn't rig back together with a little wire and some electric tape if I needed to.

That and the fact that as I pan my head from left to right I have FIVE computer screens across my desk. When I get out on my boat I want nice "clicky" rocker switches and labels that wear off after too much use. I want something I can do by FEEL. I've had enough pixels!

An acquaintance of mine who sells these boats was heard complaining one day "these people think that these electronics (he was talking about connext) are going to work flawlessly and they simply won't."

 

[Beachbummer]

Being in IT I have an appreciation for solid state, but i am wary of electronic displays exposed to the elements expected to survive 10+ years. That's the part I hope they figure out correctly.

My 230 does 53.2 on garmin thats pretty dam close to mid 50's to me.

 

[Beachbummer]

That's pretty fast. I have not yet hit 50 on GPS
Any mods?

(On the water right? Tow speed does not count)

 

[Water4fire]

LOL, Yes sir, water speed. But it was just the wife and I ballast empty and just at sunset after sitting for a few hours alone... So it was nice, smooth and cool. I am pretty impressed so far. Fresh SCer rebuilds CP pistons and Slip set 120in.lbs. I always use GPS long time ridder and know the dream O meter isn't best. I run tiny tachs and both Impellers sent to Dave at Impros she run around 8040Rpm on both engines. I have Perfect pass unhooked as I was tired of one engine being 400 less than the other.

 

[Beachbummer]

I say you were cheating because you were boating downhill....

Just kidding of course.

That being the case, I think it's very reasonable that the dream o meter for this seller genuinly displays mid 50s, and perhaps my joke was unwarranted.

Nice ride.
