LOL ! That's a good one ! Answer - not fast enough..................... yet.

Going to test on flat water tomorrow - Del River to confirm where cavitation plate rides with boat on plane, and if the prop holds on fairly tight turns.

Based on what I see, plan is to raise the prop one, ......maybe both holes and re test.

I WANT 50 mph + !!! Then I'll be totally satisfied because so far, I'm very impressed with this etec 200 HO. At 3,500 rpm, the boat is moving 25 mph area, and the motor sounds like it's just about idling. Seriously - that's how it sounds. It has a lot of torque - bump the throttle just a little and the boat surges forward.

I'd raise it two holes, that way you won't have to wonder if one was enough

Exactly what I'm thinking - and now set to have raised on Tuesday.

Lemme guess...this wonderful fuel we use these days had something to do w/it...:deer:

actually--the fuel should not have caused the issue--the dealer is not allowed to open the injector--they send a whole new unit out and then install it and sync with the engine computer with a lap top. My injector issues were internal electricial connections, replaced under warranty, no issues since. have not heard of many going bad except on the 07 3.3 litres.

I don't know what the issues with them were, I was told by my neighbor/ marine mechanic that I needed them when he was getting my boat ready for the season.... basically all I know about the engine is you turn they the key to start it. If it were made of wood then it would be a different subject... lol.

Do you have a I command gauge ? If so it will tell you if you have a bad injector. Is it running on all 6 cylinders?

If it was made of wood, you'd have already remodeled it and added a deck...:party:
