Location: Eau Claire, WI | Jim, I run a '99 692 w/ 150 opti and a 21P Tempest Plus. The boat also has a 15 hp 4stk kicker.
I get 45-46 mph on mine. I'm not sure it's "over" as far as tactics to improve speed goes. I haven't made a lot of effort at it. It would be nice to get a little faster but as a rule I don't run full out as it is. Running @ 38 mph or so is plenty fast to get around on the lakes I fish and fuel economy is good.
Regarding holeshot, I've got no complaints at all. It gets up and goes even with full gear, three guys, livewells full, etc.
I'd like to try a 19P and a 23P to see what difference it makes. If anyone has a 19 or 23 Tempest Plus in the eau claire area, please let me know.
In all, I'm happy with the rig so any tweaks to improve performance is just icing on the cake.
