Good to see you got it on the water. IMO you cannot rely on fish finders or the water pressure type speedometers for accuracy. I hate to say it but the GPS unit generally doesn't lie unless you are having signal issues.

i hear you about the gps but there is no way its a 38 mph boat.....the unit did not seem to be functioning correctly(would not goto waypoints).. i was wondering what the max rpm should be for this motor.. my old boat did around 42mph and i would say i was going considerable faster than that

5800 sounds about right but I'm no expert. Also at 5800 w/ 225hp you were likely going faster than 38mph. Are you sure it was not 38 knots? That would be roughly 44 mph.

it was definitely on mph but like i said i need to learn more about the gps/chart plotter....it seems all owners of v20's with a 225 reach speeds in excess of 50, unless they are weighted down by lots of custom options..i should have it out again this weekend so we will see
