V21 owners boat top speed.....

[THEFERMANATOR]

That's why I liked the MIRAGE style prop. It's large diameter gets a boat up on plane at slower speeds, holds it there, provides excellent trim control, and good mpg's. When you want to drop the hammer though, it still gave a decent top end.

Not a V-21, best my v-20 cuddy has done is 48mph, empty, in a flat calm river and trimming it out best I could.

Like others are saying, I rarely see water that flat, running 28 or so is just fine.

150 yamaha 2 stroke 14.25 x 17 prop I think I've seen 44 wind and current behind me. Tho I rarely push pin down 42 is guaranteed on the regular. It has been almost 11 years and still love this boat. Would like to add trim tabs but with the oldest kid in college and another one soon extra greenbacks are scarce around here.

1988 150 mercury top speed about 37 mph turning a 15 x 17 prop I'm very happy with that

What size outboard hp ?

I got my boat up to 46 knots. V20 cuddy with three sided enclosure, radar arch,etc. The boat runs fastest in a bay chop. I just installed a Yamaha Saltwater Series II 15.25x19 SDS prop. It shifts like butter and holds water all the way to full trim.

Yes Sir. 2007 225 Optimax closing in on 1400 hours

Coming out of Toms River my v20 does 31 MPH. That's on a calm day. Can't imagine what the boat would feel like at 40 or 50 MPH

That should be right on target...and really flying along. Big prop but if you're getting full rpm's it can handle it.
