Top speeds

[luanders]

curious to what everyone else is seeing-- just got my 195 HOI to 44. Not bad but just me on board and low fuel

 

[Slugger55]

That's about right...

If a binch of you post boat, engines, and top speeds, it will help me pool more data for pump size/hp/boat size chart I am building

My 165 HOI hit 54mph yesterday, low fuel ,just me onboard,wind to my back, flat lake.

 

[Rtimleck]

I've seen 44 mph once and that was perfect conditions. 250 hp

I had my 165 in for 25hr service check and oil change today. Service manager Jeff at Dockside Marine in Willmington Il sounded very knowledgable of the Scarab rotax setup. I asked him how to get more mph , he said he would set me up with different pitch impeller and some other upgraded parts, relatively not too expensive and he would help me get as close to 60mph as possible without changing the ECU. I will wait on these mph enhancements options till maybe next summer. It's really cheek flapping fun At 50-54 mph on a 15' boat but only could imagine 60+. I seen some seadoo speedsters claim 60-65 mph on the 215-255 supercharged rotax , so why can't we fly like that ????

 

[Scarabski]

Let me know when you do this, I am very interested! As long as it doesn't interfere with getting out of the hole

my boat only works on a trailer...70 mph southbound I95 INTO THE WIND on its way to Marine Max. That was a month ago...last time I saw it.

 

[Casey_215HO]

Haven't had ideal conditions for mine but i've seen 60 mph with 2 others on board and a decent amount of gas. 215 HO / w twin 200HP

 

[tomfoolery]

Glastron 187GT here. 49 has been max..... 44 with 4 on board..... 46-47 most times..... conditions not an issue.

 

[Cs419]

Got my 165 back from the 1st oil change and was stuck at 36 mph but the water was choppy. Before the 1st oil change, I could get 38.5. My goal is 45 mph.

 

[Speedling]

What rpms are u all getting? If maxxed out you can use more top end pitch!

 

[Cs419]

Will get a picture and post.

 

[Scarabski]

8100 which I think is max

 

[Pinhacker71]

I'm only getting 7600 out of each of mine. 12 hrs. Do you think I will get more as it breaks in?

 

[PapaBear]

@Pinhacker71 give it a few more hours. I think I got 8000 around 15hrs.
