Anyone got this rig? Was curious about what you are seeing performance wise.
Looking for top end speed with 2 guys in the boat- RPM at WOT and what pitch prop you are running. I just bought this boat and am in the process of playing around with prop pitch.

Thanks.

I have the same rig. I have a either a 14 or 15 pitch Vengeance stainless prop...can't remember for sure. Loaded with gear and two guys it will top out at about 30 mph. I think it tachs out at 5000 - 5500 rpm when running wide open.

I have a 07' Nav. 165 T w/ an 08 Yam. 40 4/s. 12"P Hustler Turning Point prop, and w/ light load (one guy. 1/4 tank) just tops 31mph GPS. WOT 6000rpm trimmed up motor on 3rd hole up from bottom. A bit disappointing, but motor is smooth as glass. Mobil 1 full synthetic. Would be interested in hearing what folks are turning w/ a lower gear ration motor like a Suzuki, or with the new 70 Yamaha.

Oops- correction on my last post. Make that a 60Hp Yam., not a 40!
Love the hull BTW. Cuts all water and is very stable.
