No top speed run? I can't wait to hear what that tops out at!

Nice ride. Just got back from a week away, but checked out the pics a few times while we were gone. We were on a different boat, a cruise ship in 20-25' seas....

We're all waiting with baited breath.....my guess is around 52/53 and that's honking for a "toon".I just got 48.8 on my GPS .
I don't do WOT for long ,though...........30 gallons an hour.

Hi Codeman;

Just playing around with it the other day, I think she will top out in the low 50's, the same as my old Manitou did. (that boat was crazy fast!) But this boat is 4' longer and a lot heavier so I am very happy with the results! I haven't played with props or dialed in the trim yet but it sure seems like Bennington has done their homework on the prop so I may stick with what's on there...

I think what impressed me the most so far is it doesn't seem to matter how many people are on board as it barely affects the speed and how well it rides and handles. I had 10 people on board yesterday and it performed flawlessly. That Yamaha really has a lot of mid and upper level torque!

Very impressed so far with the Bennington and the Yamaha!!

Dan
