23' Sceptre w/225 Evinrude - 36-37mph WOT

Otto - you're getting 46 with a 200? What's your hull weight, fuel capacity, prop size, and age of motor? That seems fast for the motor size. My 225 is an '89, so it's rated at the power head and not the prop, so prop output is probably 190 or so, then factor in the age and it's probably less than that.

23' Sceptre W/200 Evinrude also about 37mph WOT.
Like to cruise about 30-31mph @ 4000rpm. Thats plenty for me. Offshore you rarely care anyway.

Billybob, you won't be sorry with a Stilleto. I got one a few weeks ago and it made a big difference in whole shot and the boat can be trimmed up much higher with out it blowing out. (Stock prop would blow out after not much trim) [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] Lots of bang for the buck, money well spent. With only a 115 on a 20' I need it to be propped just right I don't have any extra HP to play with. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Trevor, Yes with the twin 115hp Suzuki's I get about 43-44mph at 5950 rpm's. Now, that is with the motors on the transom and they could go up a bolthole. Now I am putting on a full flotation bracket and "they" claim a performance increase of 5 to 10%. That means I should be able to expect a top end of 46 to 47mph. I don't believe that for a second, however I will let y'all know. I may talk funny but it's 72 degrees in Sarasota today. He He. (I spent 18 summers on Long Beach Island, NJ)
