the engine ran like a top. i didnt push it too much since it was really the first time i had it out. only half the gauges worked. the tach was on the fritz half the time. when it did work its was pegged at 6K. ill have to upgrade that for sure.

the two times i had a gps out i hit 65. loaded to the gills. i have a 21P laserII that came with the boat. this prop worked great with 5 people in the boat.

man i love this stuff.

matt- you had 5 people in the boat with no jack plate and hit 65?????? also with a 21p prop?????? is that a 200 hanging off the back? if it is and it is stock i guess that my boat is rigged wrong or something!!!! i'm turning a 23p quiksilver at 6300rpm's at63.7gps with only me in the boat! also with a 12 inch jack plate that i'm running at 2.5 inches for my prop shaft height!!!!!

its got a bit more than 200:D. since my tach tops out at 6k i can only speculate on the rpms. i would think its turning around 6800 or more. i didnt want to push it any higher without knowing for sure.

i have a 6" hydro right now so i can jack it up to where i want. water psi stayed at 15 so i left it there.

with this small 21P laserII this boat rockets out if the water like my predictor and snaps you back at 40 as well.

Ok wait a minute - is that red or maroon. If it's maroon, it's darn close to my boat. I don't have the white bottom, but the side stripes and graphics are exactly the same. May have to have a open and closed bow photo shoot sometime. If I can find a few gold chains, we could reproduce
an early 90's brochure!! Now where can we find some women with that big hair...

I am thinking about selling Li'l Dave the Diplomat I/O and getting an ob mate.....I loved the way daren34's little diplomat flew-felt like half the weight of the sterndrive mates
and the trim was soo much more responsive
6200 rpm w/13.25 x 22 raker johnyrude 140 looper 2.0litre 6in cmc hyd plate

One of those new 24's would be sweet with a 300
