I have a 2016 AR 190 with 100 hours on it. Being that it is a jet drive they thrive on existing momentum.So in order to get the speed I desire I will go faster then that, then reduce rpms and let the boat settle down into the speed I want. Seems less stressful on the motor than slowly trying to get on plane at the lowest rpm possible. But yes these motors can handle high rpms. You will get used to it.However the new models are around 500 pounds heavier and you will feel it behind the throttle
Agreed- I would say this goes for every boat...at least every boat I’ve owned ( stern, v-drive, jet drive) works best. Throttle harder to get on plane, then back off to the speed you want.
