Hello All, first weekend out on the lake. I bought a 2014 SSLX Tri with 200HP Yamaha (silver low emissions, 200F i think), 105 hours on motor and 150 hour service done early. it has the SPS package as well. there is a stainless prop on the motor, the previous owner said he spent @ $500 on that prop. The toons are dirty, the previous owner says he gets 7 to 8 more MPH when they are power washed and clean. I used 93 octane non ethanol gas. 4 passengers and full gear, Bimini up, I hit 29.5 MPH top speed. Trim was about in the middle, maybe a hair up. I have seen others post about getting over 40 on the same set up. If i get 8 MPH from clean toons, where do i get the other 6 or 7 MPH? what would Bimini be worth if down and weight reduction if running solo? anything else I am missing? thanks! DT
