I have to say, I am thoroughly happy with my, ehem, "investment"! I will also agree with the above comments about 30-33 mph being the best and most comfortable cruising speed. Only time I open it up is to impress 1st time riders 🙂.
What RPM do you hit?

About 73-7400
On the tr1s in the 210s I would get 7800 amd with flame restrictor pulled I’d get the full 8000 from what others told me. My 12 242 will hit 7600 at 50mph or something. I hit 56 once in the evening. Your engines should get close to 8000. Like 7500-8000. I also noticed on my 210 it always felt like she wasn’t getting a full plain even at 35mph. This 242 feels like full plain around 25-30 amd just feels like, well like it should. If they would make a base model ar210 with twin 1.8 non supercharge I’d love to have that boat
