I figure it will be 48-50 mph. Chine walking in that boat would not be fun!

Yhe Rep even told me if your Etec runs dry it will power down to 1500RPM and run for over 5 hours with NO OIL!
thanks for the compliments and support guys. I really have no idea how this hull will perform at any speed. I know they were designed for big Great Lakes water, so I don't doubt its seaworthiness, but as far as its rebirth as a raceboat lol I have no clue what to expect!
John, didn't you say something about 65 mph???
I understand the purpose is power when you need it, not neccessarily top speed and I completley agree with that...especially for the offshore use you plan on
Just wondering -what is the intial cost of say a 300 e-tec vs a yamaha 300 4 stroke. I believe they have a better warrenty and I think are lighter. What's the downside for powering a heavy boat like a 24ft xlch Orca. Don't want to hi-jack the thread and get into a 2 stroke 4 stroke debate but if I switched to a 300 e-tec vs 300 Yammi what are the pro's and cons while I have the e-tec guys looking?
A big THANK YOU has to be given to TRENDSETTER. Aside from knowing a ton about these 2 stroke motors, he's actually the guy that found the great deal I got on my motor. Without him it's doubtful I would be in my current position with this new motor.
Kudos to you my friend. Your find will surely be rewarded with time at the throttle.
Thank you!!
Where are you buying your bulk XD100 and for how much?
Dealer said I can get a 16 gallon barrel for about $32 per gallon...
