Guessing these rigs are propped more for acceleration than top end. I agree with Tux where I would want the lightest motor on the back that would accomplish this.

Tony, thank you SOOO much for the coils! And a big THANKS to Richie for all his time and efforts getting me going! Your coils seem to have resolved my problem. I'll be out testing today, I'll let you know what I think about the 3L. So far I can say that the protective fail safes, ie water pressure shutdown, have been problematic.

Good day of testing, Richie's motor ran like clock with Tony's coils. Caught some air in some snotty mixed chop out by Coney Island. No water pressure issues since Richie's mods this morning. Propped for 60, but still spanked the "80" mph jet ski's

That's the best when these guys on the skis say they go 80 but u go right by them at 65 lol. U stop afterwords to bs n they say "how fast were you going 85?" And you show him your gps that says 68. And they say your gps is broke lol good stuff lol

I say talk is cheap, bring it on.... What is one to do with 500hp on an 1000lb hull to run 60mph max.... Seems to me a total waste.... Yes, you and the guys down there also!!!!.....
Peter, very glad to been able to help!! When you r ready I have a little 100hp that will surely produce some serious whoop azz.....
IMPO, being this is a low budget/entry class the key factor is get a reliable motor, low maintenance, build it to turn rpms in a snap (sling shot style) and get the setup plus propping right to put that power to the water! I see no reason someone can not get a 250hp motor, maybe even less to push an 1000lb hull 60mph.
Yes, 3.0l are torque but nothing beats the throttle response of a healthy and well running 2.5EFI! Yes, the 3.0l can run but from what I have experienced it took time and distance to get it there, not good for this pin to pin racing.
I see no need to build an expensive 350+hp fire breather so big cheating I see it to be a waste.
Let's take a 280 for example. It produces the best power depending on box above 7k min so most of the time it is not even running at its potential in this class and if you do get it up there I'm sure you are out of the water or breaking out. What gets it there is the giddy up/throttle response.

I think what I have seen happen is this class is, many said hey this class is perfect for my 21-22' boat with a reliable let's say 2.5 200 that is setup for bay running or bay bombing enter the class and quickly find out oh this is not so easy. They find out that most of these guys are pretty serious so they either start finding ways to improve the boat, setup, upgrade motors etc to be able to become competitive or sadly totally drop out. Having a good setup bay/weekend family fun boat most probably not work in competition.
Even though it looks to be an affordable class it may not be so affordable for everyone when they need to just about redo and repower the entire boat. Once you start to add things up not to mention the traveling it does add up. JMPO.

Peter, I get what you are saying but it will not break the bank to make that little 200 reliable and very competitive. Once again the key factor to me would be to get that motor hooked up to produce the 60mph in a snap, sling shot style out of a turn and in the straight a ways to next pin...JMO

There is one on the lake here that kept getting about 35 feet off the side of my Shadow running 75+MPH. I turned and ran away from him 3 times and he kept hiding and waiting for me to come back and try to run with me. You know how close I came from blasting him off that thing with my roost? I finally just hammered down and left him, but no ****, he was 75MPH GPS at least all day long and right beside me 3 times.
I got pulled over for a safety check later in the day and I asked the wildlife guys about him. They said they would ticket him if they saw that. Next time he gets the roost, if I know you and plan to run down the lake with you and we are close to each other one thing. Some ass on a 75MPH ski stalking you and running 35 feet away is about to get taught a lesson next time he does that **** to me. He lives here too because it was a weekday I saw him and I have seen him before during the week. Maybe I will see him on Tuesday when I take out the Intimidator, all the legal paperwork is done and the numbers were applied yesterday.
Tony, I want two of those power heads, please sell them to me man.
I have never seen a ski that fast before but some of my friends I told about it say they go faster than that. I saw two Can-AM or whatever MBRP that said 130HP on them yesterday at the marina.

Stock the fastest ones go 70. But they all say 80+ lol. Some do go that fast but with a lot of mods. And your right. It's usually rookies on the skis giving them a bad name. I wouldn't run rail to rail with them either.....
