I still got the Johnrude 200, its for sale, PM me if you want the details

Young buck, What?? Musta been talking to capt. Pete at the time, What with the glow sticks and drinkin and all.. LOL.

Yeah now!!...I remember the glow sticks!!...:you:

No one asking the questions ? No one asking about performance ?

Ok...... I'm asking:

About how fast at cruising speed - 4,000 rpm or so

And how fast at WOT ?

Best of luck with that motor.

I'll go out on a limb here. Depends on the prop, but assuming he's running a 17P ss I'd expect the cruising speed on a flat lake to be somewhere between 36-44 mph gps. More once he gets the bottom of the boat fixed up. WOT should be 50-55. Anyone have a different opinion? :head:

we didn't have a gps, but we ran the 21 small ear quicksilver prop off my V on it, turned 5300, Reel will probably change it out to a 19. IO thought it cruised nicely at 3400, but Reel liked it better at 4200

I'll put up some numbers soon as I got 'em...I wanna know too!!...have FF/GPS unit on the way...need to get T & T seal replaced and GPS in and try the 17P & 19P props on hand to see which is best...will be a while...but thanks for the interest!!...

Destroyer mentioned the rough bottom..he's right...when Spare and I wet tested I was looking at the water coming from under hull at speed...pretty sudsy...it'll be interesting to see if I really pick up any top end when I get her smoothed out...The Merc feels STRONG though!!...I think it can come up another notch on the transom...anticav plate just under water on plane...I want it just above...one notch up oughtta 'bout do it...

Ok good, look forward to seeing the #' s.
