I have an '89 292 with twin 330's, it will do 63 MPH on the GPS with Hydromotive props. Great boat, 311's are nice as well but nothing wrong with a 292.

A litle of topic but.....

Endeavour what speed do you see on your 242 with 530 HP? Just bought 502 aprox 540 - 560 HP. I can not wai to get it installed and tested next summer :-)

Again sorry for the off topic

I sold my 271 Fastech April 2010 and bought a 93 SR336 with 502s and love it. I looked at a couple of 312s but the deal on the 336 was too good to pass up.
Sam I would go for a 311 before a 292.

Depending on conditions I would see between 67-69 MPH on GPS. I'd guess you'll should see 70 with your new engine! Should be fun, let me know in the spring what speed you get out of it!

Thanks for the reply :-)

A guy I know in Sweeden has done 64,4 mph (Gps)
496 HO 425 hp. I have seen the screen so it is confirmed.
This is a 242LS not SS, but anyway based on this figure
I should hopefully see 70 mph ++. I had actually thought
that you should see 70, any way 69 is very close so...

Last off topic how does the boat ride at 69 mph??

regards

Really well, but at that speed there is very little boat in the water.

The boat I looked at had dead batts, so I couldn't get the hatch up, how much room is in front of the motors compared to the 272?
