Has anyone hit 60?
 

Good morning everyone. I ran my v20 for the first time this morning on a good size lake near my house. Flat calm conditions, really no wind, half a tank of fuel and just me onboard. I hit 56mph on the gps without much fiddling around with the trim and the boat has no tabs. I was just wondering if anyone has hit 60? Im by no means a speed demon and i cant say that the boat feels comfortable at that speed. I was just curious if someone had tinkered with trim tabs, motor trim, and props enough to hit 60

This morning in Ma?!! That must have been one COLD ride!! I've hit 52(GPS) trimmed out. Gonna try a diff wheel, hope to hit 55

Yes with the center console version. 63.1 on GPS is the best I have seen with a light load. I like the speed, don't like the gas guzzler. Never heard of any cuddy's going over 60. 56 is flying.

Wow Ridge thats flat gettin it! I just remembered that was with double oil after the rebuild in the fall. I have not run it with proper oil ratio, that may gain me 1 or 2 mph??

it was brisk to say the least. im off today and i was itching to run the boat for the first time so i braved it. i honestly dont think i could have gotten any more out of it, thats still moving right along though

heck I went 85 this morning and its been one of the warmer mornings in months!!!

Oh, that was on my bike...

Yes, I hit 60 several years ago. I'll hit 67 this May. ...... You are talking about birthdays..right?? :hide:

does it count when its on a trailer? still moving even with the motor off. well lets say i have gone almost 80mph.:fight:

Over 200 mph if dropped off cliff that's high enough !! Now that's moving.
