if you have the gas and the water to do it....yes!
disclaimer: (this is coming from a boat owner that WOT GPS's at 68 though) There are seadoo rxp's that can hang with that. Thanks reggie.....worlds fastes my azz. |
You can run it WOT, all you want, but someday something inside your motors is going to give like a grenade.
We run 95 % of the time at 3000 RPM's that's around 40-45 mph depending on how much tab I have to give her. |

On occasion I will stretch it's legs and go full throttle, but not for more than 10-20 seconds. I just think it is abusing the machine to run any harder than that for an extended period of time. Also hard on valve springs on my 500 efi's. |

21-22 gph. is that per motor?
That was overall average on a trip from Lake Havasu Cat Tail Cove launch ramp to Davis Dam and back, 155 (statute) miles total on the gps. Total for both engines, that did included limited time at idle (5 mph in restricted areas), but most of the time cruising at 2900-3000 rpm. One person on the boat, and a full load of fuel. |
