Top speed with " little etec 200 vs big 200 HO" ?

[Genie Aye]

First--200HO is 510lbs
200 is 418lbs

100lbs to small block

The 200HO is also 218 hp at the prop.

The speed difference should not be more then 5 to 7 mph I would think.

Question is --how fast do you want to go???

With mine loaded for tuna--means ice--alot-Fish hold full, gear, food, 30 gallon bait tank full of water, people and 70+ gallons of fuel with arch and stand up top--I can run 49+ agianst a good 15 knot head wind--Best I have seen is 53+ with the 200HO. Faster than I need to go most of the time on Saltwater. But it does cruise real easy at 35 to 40 and not even work with the heavy load.
