How much water pressure are you some of you seeing? I don't have low water pick ups just the stock deal in the lower. I am wondering what some of you are running your boats at?
What kind of speeds are you guys getting out your boat at what rpm?
I ran 100mph, 20psi water, 6200rpm with four people, 3/4 tanks, 90 degree air temp. at about 500 feet elevation.

Thanks for the replies, I might try and run the ocean this Saturday if the weather is decent. It is raining here in So.Cal right now. Hoping for 105 in the salt, then raise the motors a 1/16 or so more and pull 108. If not I will start throwing seats and people out of the boat until I get there.

I run 300's with a 28 Skater, my gauges are only registering 10-12 psi. I did move the motors back and up this year, still experiencing with the height. My water temps stay normal, however the water is still quite cold.
Not to bust in on every spectre thread, just not many skaters on this board, atleast with O/B's.

Thanks
