Speed question on 292 with 6.2's
 

What would the top speed be of a 292 with 6.2' --- 12 hours less than a 1/4 tank of gas with three guys on board?

We got 68-69.

Does this seem accurate?


What does everyone see?

Thats about right the best I have ever seen is 71.That was with a tail wind and about 1 foot chop

Hey Bob,
Never Satisfied will run 68-69 consistantly.

Best it has ever done with me and the wife, less than a 1/4 tank, was approx 70-71.

We are gonna be in LOTO and I heard you are going down on Aug 3rd which is the day we are coming back unfortunatley.

We will have to get together on the chain sometime.

Smooth ride 69 70 71with chop / 5000rpm 1/2 tank = :D

I've know 2 people with that boat and they both claimed it would get just over 70 under the best of conditions.

70 it is :cool:

Well, the number seems to be right on the money.
guys... 1/4 tank. 68-69.

Seems like it could do more... Thanks for the quick answers.

Jason Bummer on the Ozarks. Can't wait to get there! :ernaehrung004:

Hell, at the rate I am going I am hoping I have my boat back by then.
It has been at BK since 4th of July and starboard motor has been tore apart for almost 2 weeks so far.
I have been told that the relief in the oil pump was wore out and they are supposed to have it back up and running in a day or two.

We will see.

Heres an idea! how about if I don't get mine back, I will take yours and run it for a few days and I will just meet you on the 3rd when you get there to hand it over!!!:evilb:

Look at the gas money you will save only having to pull it one way!

Just wondering has anyone whippled there 6.2s and can the internals handel the added hp seems like a cool way to go, for the 292 !! :drink:

Hi Jason how was the OZARK's we just got back. I saw you on Sat the 2nd. Leaving a cove. We were at the Legends Condo's. I tried to yell out to you but I was on a Waverunner and could not catch you.

What a great lake! :D
