So we are at lake Havasu, and finally getting some time with the Q, 1/2 tank of fuel 2 adults 1 child, 8.2 HO Bravo 3, with 24pitch prop.. so first of all.. great out ot the hole, planes very quick.. maybe too quick, being the boat went into guardian mode, shut down, when i hit 5160 rpm, Hill marine, is bringing me some 4 blade 26 to try and see what she does.. at 4000 rpm i was right at 40mph.. and at 5000 I was at 51gps, was watching the tack more, so didn't see what the speed was when it shut down, so picking up the 26p tomorrow, and will report more then.. other than that a great boat, the kicker speakers need to go.. the rev 8 on the tower are good, boat drives better than my 09 permeir, Corners diffently than the premier, but does a great job. On the sea grass, it was right at 100 here, and it was hot if you just stood still, but not all that bad, my 4 yr old was walking on it, but when he was just standing there, he had on his flip flops, but i never herard him complain, I stood on the sea grass then stood on the teak, and altough they were both hot, maybe the sea grass was a little hotter, you could always lay some towels, down, but if you have up the top then no problem in my case with the tower, i was always protected ...ivory interior get dirty fast, but i knew that going in, so i am ok with that, rags, meqiures and little elbow grease, kept it in check.. so far a happy camper

Fattee; i feel stupid saying this because you sound like a experianced boater. But when you try your high speed runs are you making sure you have everyone in the back if the boat. Your MPH numbers sound great but if I have anyone up front it realy drops the top speed. It would be intresting to do a test. Speed with biminis up VS bimins down. Front gate open VS closed. Bimins off Vs folded up and coverd.

Years back my buddy workd for Centurion. They were testing a New boat called a Tusnami. They said that tower speakers made the boat 2mph slower and that removing the tower compleatly gave them 5mph.
