1hr and 50minutes on a 40gallon tank with a 3/4 gallon remaining

vs
the 450 ----- 36gallons per hour -- how big is your tank ???
Leave the camera man home and the marshall!! I dont think it would cut it

If you slow down how does it do.

At 4650 rpms running 52-53 mph it more than doubles

Very interesting article, I have lightened up for real long runs at oahe with other boats but last few years refuse to leave anything behind.

What boat is this on, and what’s the max rpm and speed you get out of it when getting 36 gph fuel burn. Prop & pitch? I assume it’s on a Warrior 238?

I only ask as I’ve read quite a bit on the 450r’s and have never seen a report showing less than 40 gph at full tilt. Then again, frankly if you can afford a 450 and the boat that it’s hanging on, then all the more power to you, you probably could give two shits what the fuel consumption is, lmao.

On a 621 with a 23 rev 4 at 5975 on ND waters

56 gallon tank. Have run an hour 40 min wot and made it in hard to tell exactly what's left in tank as it's a little fickle about filling completely

Nice thing about fuel is it gets better when you divide by 2 or 3

So your getting 70-72 mph out of it? Have you tried propping down 1-2 degrees to get your RPMs closer to the max rated 6400? Just curious. First 621 I’ve head of with a 450R.

Speed on this one is fickle like most. Running light when the stars line up crazy fast , never less than 71.

Have tried a few props, hardest boat to really dial I've owned. It really loves this cold water like they all do

How far off are we until we start seeing twin 300’s on the back of these “walleye boats”. I’m guessing within a few years.

Maybe the 238 could handle that weight. If it wasn't for the weight issue you would now.
You will see the 500r first IMO

Anyone seen of or heard of using an electric evoy 300 hp outboard

Yeah it's going to be awhile for this type of motor

Any speed that I quote are for loaded tourney loads, 2 guys, full fuel and gear. The new V10 is a torque monster and between that and the new lower unit they swing some big pitch props (I don't recall what pitch however) compared to what we've been used to running on the I6 Verados. The numbers I mentioned above with the New V10 were on a dealer spec'd boats (not proped for top speed, propped for overall performance). I fully expect a 2-man tourney load to run over 70 mph on my new one. I'm a boat performance junky and have spent more money than I care to talk about to get my boats dialed in to perform as good as they can. We all have our vice's. TBH, if this one runs the way I've been told and seen from a few videos, I have probably hit my limit for chasing speed in a walleye boat.

My current 2018 219 350 combo is a 63-66 mph boat. I have seen 67 mph and change but that was on an unloaded boat. On any given tournament start, it'll run 64-65 mph. Humid air, its down between 63-64 mph. Running a 22.5 Pitch Bravo FS that's been worked by Croxton. very few people can pass me out of the gate, it's not setup for every last mph.

Previous 186FSX with a 200 opti would spin a worked DAH Tempest plus and push that boat 58-60 mph. it was one of the fastest 18.5 ft boats I've seen or been around.

had a 2011 Skeeter WX1900 w/ a 200 hpdi. could never get that one to run, was a 50 mph boat no matter what I did.

.........and if I go way back, had a 2000 Yarcraft Storm SC powered by a 2006 225 Opti. That one was ran decent also, pretty much the same 58-60 mph speeds I got out of the 186. That one was running a worked Tempest also. Previous owner of that boat said 61 mph but he was another 1000' lower in elevation.

Those storm sc hauled @$$. Fast boat for the time.

From what I've seen on Sak, this has been the fastest walleye boat that I've witnessed, came out of Alberta I believe. That little 209 hustles!

And this is the fastest walleye fisherman I've seen on it. Talked to him at the slides, he was spotlocked vertical jigging. We had to ask how damn fast that thing was and he said..its fast. Of course we were Iike how fast?? And he said 104..uffda those Allison's are some fast hulls!

In fairly nice conditions that's the ticket! I've run with the yar quite a bit but never seen lil speedy yellow in derbs
