Re: Convincor 253 speeds
Only two people in this forum have/had a 253? Anyone else out there?

Re: Convincor 253 speeds
I have a 94 253. It goes 59 mph :D
No boat, why are you looking for speeds for the 253? If you do a search you can find a lot of different speeds listed. Before I bought mine, I rode in a few Bajas and Checkmates to compare. I thought both had benefits and ended up with the check. The 253 hull will go 80mph with the right power combo, and still be driveable. So i've heard :D I think there may be insurance company trolls running thru this site right now, so I don't think many people are posting how fast there boat is unless it's an obvious offshore go-fast. |

SO, I will post my question differently. :D Does anyone know what kind of power it would take to run a 253 at 80-85? I'm guessing about 650hp? |
Re: Convincor 253 speeds
650 hp sounds right. But at those speeds you are pushing that hull beyond it's abilities. @ 78 mph, mine was a handfull!! It would get squirley very quick in sloppy water.
