I got it to 112 mph -- but I'm not telling at what HP, trim or ballast ... you gotta figure that out yourself!

112 and i agree with Tom on the prop. seems to me if the boat was a little longer it would help too

Ron, its not the driver's fault, its the rigger. The trick to using high horsepower on this game is to set the trim up at least 25% - 30% before you start the motor. Mouse should have told you that! LOL :)

Ron:

Did you sink?

I believe it takes into account engine size and weight and bow ballast content. In your case perhaps driver size and weight was an issue ;)

gezz, Ron. start slow add power shift the ballest forward adding more power. It is called triming

You don't have to use the ballast at all. Set the trim at about half way up before you do anything else ...like I said, your rigger should have told you that .... then set the power to the max and hit the throttle. After it comes up to speed you can adjust the trim for best speed.

If you set the power first it sinks everytime. You can't increase the power after you touch the throttle the first time.

The boat is just too small for you......... Maybe they have a twin engine version...... :D :D :D
