2024 New Engine Performance

[Jetstream John]

I can’t believe I can’t find any real world reviews and information on the performance of the new 1.9 L Boat and Wave Runner engines. Are these engines a real upgrade or just a marketing ploy?

Thought I would bump this thread as I searched for info/reviews on the new 1.9’s and didn’t find anything. How are they gang?

Go look in the 2024 model line up threads.. I know there is one first had report from a guy who appears to be some sort of insider that posted some stuff on the 1.9L boats he drove. There is also a boat test of one of the ski’s that is 1.9L powered.

I have the 24 252 FSH with the 1.9s. Top speed is 48-50 at sea level here in New Orleans. Hole shot is noticeably better with very little cavitation compared to the 1.8 on the 21 FSH I had. going full speed and cutting had port/starboard... HOLD ON!!!! That sucker is on tracks! speed only drops down to maybe 35 and picks right back up. I am very satisfied!

Did you have a 2021 252 FSH ?
Can you verify whether or not your boat has four bladed impellers?
What’s the best cruise mpg and mph?
What was the temperature when you get / got those top speed numbers?

I pick up my 2024 222S with 2 1.9L this Thursday. I hoping for the best. I wanna do Bimini again next year. First time was in my SX190 in 2018.
We'll see? but I appreciate any input offered about the 1.9L performance.

This past weekend we just finished up our break in on the 222SD. We had about a 10-15mph headwind, 1-2 foot chop, Bimini full deploy, about 1200 lbs of people/gear, 3/4 tank of fuel and was able to hit 52mph. 48mph was easy to hit. These 1.9's are a BEAST!

Oh I forgot, 4 blade impellers,stock, 80 degrees outside temp, and 70 degree water temp.

@Fordman Can you please speak to the noise level?

@Fordman Can you please speak to the noise level?

I don't have a decibel meter, but if you've rode in a twin tr1 or single 1.8 or twin 1.8(because that's what I've owned or rode in jet boat wise) I would say it is like half of the noise. We are able to cruise at 20-32mph(5200-6000rpm) and have a conversation with the radio on and not shout at each other. I would say it's a little louder than a outboard engine. We used to have to talk really loud and radio off to have a conversation at cruise speeds. Extremely quiet at idle. I will say it's by far the best jet boat I've ever been on, I was most impressed by how much quieter this is and the abundance of power.

I has a different tone on hard acceleration or WOT, it's a deeper tone. It's kinda hard to describe. I know the wife and kids were very happy and liked it a lot better. That was the first thing they said about it, that is was way quieter,
aside from how sexy it looks . It is amazing in single throttle mode to keep the engine's in sync.

I found a DB meter in the App Store and downloaded it… seems fairly accurate

I would like to see this new impeller.

 

[kgower]

I agree with @Fordman, that is one of the first things we noticed coming from a 195s is our new 22 is noticeably quitter. You can have a conversation while cruising with only slightly elevated volume and you can hear the music with the stock amp.
@jacoviii we will be boating today and will try to remember to take a photo of the impeller.

Our 2022 210 FSH has a sticker on the engines. it says they are rated at 85Kw. Is there a similar sticker on the 1.9's?
