the pics...., the motor now is a yamaha 225 2stroke , they it should go 124km/h
Wow, 124Km/h (77 mph) Thats pretty fast!!what mods have been done?
What prop are you running?top RPM. setback/jackplate etc..
( sorry if some of that is in the pic for some reason they wont show on this computer)
I have a pulse 186 with a merc 225. I am having trouble getting it past 65 mph. But I have a lot of setup/prop work to do. I just dropped the motor on last year just before winter set in.I'v only got about 8 hrs of seat time all low rpm break in except for a few wot runs.
Good luck with the new boat!!, I love mine,Make sure you post you results of the testing, every bit of accurate info helps out,
I am shooting for 75 mph this summer,
Everything here in New england is coverd in ice too, I hope to get on the water by early May. I have to get my hands on a couple of props to test. I am going to try to start with a 24p with a lot of bow lift(tempest maybe) then work up from there to see where I can get a decent hole shot and still have enough top end to make me nervous!! If you can, post some pics on here, there doesn't seem to be too many other 186s around.
