Message: <blockquote data-quote="SLE" data-source="post: 80407" data-attributes="member: 3889">I don't have the fastest rig by any means but I'll play, why not. 2013 YarCraft 186FSX, 9.9 Kicker, 200 Merc Opti, 21P DAH worked Tempest Plus, Slidemaster Jackplate - 2 guys, compartments all full, 7/8 full tank of fuel and full live well coming in to weigh during small tourney last year posted a best at 59.7mph. Have broke 59 mph several times, pretty much 58mph most any day of the week, right at the max rated rpm or even a touch above (5750rpm). Think I could break 60mph with a touch more pitch or a lighter load. The factory ran this boat as a photo boat and with a stock 21 tempest said they ticked a touch over 62mph with it. Also have a 19P DAH worked Rev4 for heavy loads and sloppy water, it runs 55mph+- however gotta keep and eye on the tach, if your not loaded up with four or more people it'll run right past the high side of the recommended rpms. I actually like the handling of this prop better and run it more than the tempest, there seems to be more windy days than calm ones, lol.The old YarCraft 1895 Storm with a 225 Opti did pretty well also, could run touch and go right at 60mph. 21P DAH worked Tempest and no jackplate. The Skeeter WX1900 that owned in between the two YarCrafts would run 49+- with a 200 HPDI and didn't seem to care which prop I ran, Tempest or Yamaha.- - - Updated - - -and yeh, there was a lot of hoopla floating around the world wide web when river runner recreation in taber had that 219TFX with a Sevens Marine 557 hanging on the back but I've never seen a posted report of how it ran, kind of makes you wonder a little if it didn't pan out the way the owner was thinking?</blockquote>
