Not many family members getting in that beauty though.
i have a friend who owns a 24 Checkmate bowrider with a 300 XS for power. He isnt getting but 65-70 MPH. Has tried different props, engine heights,all the normal setup stuff. Can anyone reccomend a good setup for this rig?
if they ever make that 23' GS that would be awesomeQuote:

My T1 has always been the fastest prop when testin and help setting up friends boats that need a lot of bow lift, 21' rangers ,tritons,skeeters etc.Quote:

When i had a Verado 300 Pro on my 24' BRX the best top speed i got was 69-70 mph so your friend isn't off the mark, folks say that apples to apples the 300XS is a bit faster than the Verado 300 Pro so I'm sure with a bit more experimenting there may be a couple more mph in your friends boat.Quote:

21 pulsar//250xs//done right 80-85,safe unreal fule milage with the 250,good in 2-3 footers,fun on flat,ski,tube,open bow version, I bought a new star liner 21 checkmate open bow in 89 perfect for my 4,,iv a 21 pulsar now,250xs 10 "bobs,83 mph with 3-4 anyone can drive it!!!
My Starliner is great with 4 people. 21 foot open bow with a 250 merc., its solid 70's and cheap to run. However, I am in an area that's can get real rough. I am looking to go bigger soon, the 21 checkmate seems to be a good option, the open bow makes the boat more family friendly. I all depends, I have 2 -8 people that want to go so up to 4 or 5 the Starliner is great. If you are using it for a lake I think you would be real happy.
I dunno....I don't think I would buy a pulsare 2100 for rough water. My dads 19' procraft bass boat took waves better. Too bad superboat didn't make an open bow 21.
I just gotta say this, there are not to many 21 sobs out there good for rough water. People say 2' to 3'? Seriously thats pretty big water and I wouldnt want to be out in that with my family. Now a 24' Superboat or Checkmate are a totally different animal. Fuller has a 24 super that runs thru stuff that puts my 21 on the trailer. Reality check. JMO
I've said it before I'll say it again the Laser 380 ray is one of the best all around performance boats. The trick is finding one in good shape.
i was supposed to be looking for an xr2002 for easier cruising etc or an SS2000 excel. Couldn't find one I liked and came home with a drag. Whoops!! LolQuote:
