Another " how fast " discussion

[bgreene]

Probably won't get answers to this one..........

Anyone running a V or V21 with a newer Merc Optimax 225 ?

No, I'm not buying an Opti. I believe the Opti 225 may provide the greatest top end speed of all 2 stroke outboards, so this may the " maximum" power outboard to rig to a V.
There are larger, but not within the hp rated spec.

I'm guessing 55 mph WOT based on report of 200 HO Etec V21 hitting 52mph.
