I think Otis 311 said 72 with the same set up.

Pardon the ignorance, but I've been curious about the same setup. I assume that setup is a non-TS hull??

I am also curious as to how a non-TS Tiger with bigger power ie. 650-750hp runs. I know Tiger-1 has his for sale, and If I can sell my 382, I may be very interested in that boat.

I have a NS 2000 Tiger with XR's and Merc 600 SC's.

I have seen 82 in salt water with Biggus, Craig223, and another 2 people on board.

I put smaller pulleys I would venture I am around 630-6355HP and now hit 81 in fresh water with fumes on board and 2 people. Turning 30 Labbed 4 Blade bravos.

Hope this helps do not hesitate with any questions.

'Untamed' with SC750's / XR's / 5 blade Hering's = 86-88 mph with medium to light load.

Thanks abunch. I must tell you I absolutely love your boat. It is one of the main reasons I am looking at Tigers. I would love to be in the low to mid 80's. I have also looked at Top Guns with bigger power as they are a little more affordable for me right now. My question is what is the difference in ride between the Tigers and Top Guns. Thanks again for the help, I am young and trying to learn all I can before getting into my next rig.

What could someone expect to lose speed wise going to a 3A over the XR's??
I am not familiar with that boat..any pics.

Also anyone with an older Tiger looking to sell for less than 190k let me know.

Thanks again
