45 mph! That is where we are at with the boat so far. Mike is double checking prop specs and I will then post.
He has tested three props and that will probably be it. Up to me after that.
As I have not been in the boat yet, I will pass Mikes thoughts on...
The Etec 60 HO motor has balls. Great holeshots like he has not seen. Great midrange and going from 20 - 40 mph very quick.
He feels it is in good all around trim right now. Yes the motor can go higher and I will do that in the weeks ahead.
The motor is hitting an rpm ceiling of 5000 rpm's right now. Should be more rpm's in it.
Anyway, the re-distribution of the weight has not hampered the boat. Mike feels it handles as good as ever. More speed is in it too.
Takes time. More info to come!
