At 25 hours and after all the fluids were changed:
Did a couple WOT run. 5400 RPM said the tach max, 34.5 MPH said the GPS. 98 percent clean toons. Two persons, 25 gallons fuel, 82F, 800 ft elevation, about a 2 mph wind, almost no waves or chop.
Tops down. Fiddled with trim.
Mechanic said it should run 5600-5800. Dealer thought it would turn 38. It might under optimal conditions and lighter load.
15.25 x 15 wheel.
How much speed is left and how much will It cost to eek out the last 2-3 mph?
I'm assuming my towing/hole shot and low end torque may suffer to get the top speed.
I'm plenty satisfied the way it is now assuming with 6 persons on board I can tow a two person tube and get 25 mph which I think I will be able to.
2012 2274GL with Yamaha 150LTR.
Options:
Power Assist/Hydro Steering
33 Gallon Tank
Double Bimini
Dual Battery w/switch
Express Performance Package (3 25inch tubes and wave shield)
Extended Swim Deck 18inches
