Cheetah Slip %?
 
Whats the slip % approximately on a Cheetah? I was doing some testing today and it was around 16% which seems high to me.

I still have to verify some set up - drive alignment, trim angle etc...

But I would expect these boats to have a much lower slip due to the design of the bottom. I wasnt at full throttle either, so maybe that was a factor as I wasnt getting maximum efficiency.

Sounds right to me,,,although it may go down a tat @ WOT.

Even at that slip % I should be over 95 MPH. Thats very good on stock power!
