What's your Top Speed?

People: 3
TAPS: 2
Water: Calm
Speed: 52

TAPS any lower = too much push, TAPS any higher = too much porpoise. Speedo said 52 but not verified by GPS so actual could be slower. This was last year pre-FAE so I'm sure it would be slower now.

If I turn the knobs on my speedo's I can get any speed I want. If I use a gps I can only get 40.

Ouch.

I was at Powell this week and decided to open the throttle up. I was surprised that I cannot get the boat to go over 35 with 12 people in the boat and about 300 pounds in gear I usually don't have (cooler, water, chairs, kitchen sink, that kind of stuff). I have the FAE, which also might make a difference. There were 2 men and 3 adult sized women, and then 7 kids from 12 to age 3. So I guess the people weight was about 1100 pounds or so. The wakeboard wake was very nice...but top end was not so good when it is getting dark, and you are 10 miles from the marina.

What prop are you running?

Acme 537. The hole shot is still terrific, even with a lot of weight, but the top end is slow.

41 to 42 mph. Don't try to see how fast she will go that often, as I know that she won't go very fast anyway.

My speedo says 43-44 but the perfect pass says 39. Not sure what the taps is at cause the guage does not work. I know it is up a bit cause I go up until I feel like a dolphin swimming in front of a cruiser.

Speedo has topped out around 51,52 - not gps confirmed, except keeping pace with another boat going around 50

With 13 people - speedo topped out around 43-45 (but hole shot was much slower-still acceptable tho)
