Took a test drive on a new scarab 195. Disappointed in performance. Limitted to 7000rpm. How much better will it get. Thanks

Yes I am hearing that. But is it normal that is was hitting slightly over 30mph with 3 on board. Went for a test ride on a used 215 with the 500hp. Holly shit now that almost had to much power. Lake was rough so never opened here up but she jumped when

You only have 60% power until you reach 7-8 hours. Like everyone else has said, when you get 100% power you will reach 42-45 mph. 45 if you use 93 octane fuel.

"Too much power?!" No such thing.
