Etec 200 HO engine height

[Genie Aye]

waiting to see new numbers--Still alot of rpm compared to me--at 4200 I am around 41mph. and at 5300 trimmed out I am around 52 with no wind and flat water. 19 pitch. I do not want to run in the 5700 rpm range--just me.

Now that I'm hitting 50 mph, fine tuning from here. That, plus not in a hurry to go back to ramp on Delaware River where I had light cover stolen from my trailer. Continuing " experiment" at leisurely pace.

Fished the ocean yesterday, running mostly at 3,000 - 3,500 rpm where these etec's sound like they're just idling along.
Ocean very rarely flat enough for top speed messing' around........
Thanks for all your feedback Genie, appreciated.

No idea of fuel burn - just have the fuel tank gauge, but............seems to use less than previous 150 carb motor, especially in the 3,000 - 4,500 rpm range.

Congratulations on the 50 MPH mark. I knew it was in it.

Thanks but I'm humble considering your 61 mph V !!!
Wow, that's dialed in and flying along. You must have that engine, prop, trim, all perfectly set.

I haven't re tested since moving the engine up 1 hole, but eventually.

Rode fine at 50 mph.

Up the one hole - same top speed.
