Repowering my 33 Daytona
I am considering repowering my 1999 33' Daytona...Currently have 900 HP and may go to 525's or 575's....
Anyone know what type of speed I can expect with either of these options? |
What kind of speed do you get with current power?
|
Id say roughly 105 with the 525's and maybe 108 with the 575's
|
During testing the boat ran 126 i am told... Not seeing anything like that currently 118-120...
If i could squeeze 100 out of 525's that would work for me.. |
Why would you want to change to smaller motors? Insurance?
|
Lots of reasons...with the fact I have my 3 kids and there friends with me most of the time I do not run the boat over 90 with them on board...so since 98% of the time I am running at the 60-80 mph range why have the extra maintenance, gas, insurance, drive wear, ect
Do not get me wrong I love going 120 mph and would like going 140 mph but there are tradeoffs to everything. |
That makes good sense with the way you use your boat. Just remember your going to have to spin the engines pretty hard for your 80 mph cruise. I had a similar set up before and it was okay but my boat just started to perform well and be fun above 100mph. You'll lose some of the "fun" factor but a lot less money will bleed from your wallet.
