XE, not SE, but top speed is 42mph with balance right. That is at 4500' elevation with high altitude impellers and having passengers sit in the back (sitting in the front planes the boat too much and the pumps don't bite as much). I bet I could eek out a little more if I needed to.
 
thats low .. gonna need 1.9s lol

your losing air pressure at that elevation and thats why or you would prob run much higher
 
AR250 here. On rare occasions (low ambient temp, two people max, Bimini stowed, 1/4 tank of gas, smooth water, decent tail wind) at 840' elevation I've seen 52mph measured by GPS. It's happened twice. Most of the time we'll top out at 46/48mph. Most economical is 32mph if I remember correctly.
