Top Speed??

I've got a '95 V-21 and a Yamaha 200. The 12" set back that makes it a V-21 helps with top end. With a light load and almost full trim I can hit 50 -51 mph at 5500 RPM. I'm turning a 19" pitch Yamaha stainless prop.

With a couple of people and more fuel, I cant get it much over 46mph and around 5200 RPM, which is still plenty for me. These speeds are from the water pick up speedometer on the Yamaha lower unit. I don't have a GPS and don't know how accurate these speeds are but from what I've heard, they are in the ball park.
