Wow, 82 with a 200! You are beating most 200s by 10-12 mph! I take it that your engine is still stock. I bet it felt good dusting 3 other boats. Why power did they have?

You could make some $ betting on racing with guys at the ramp. A guy with a 225, 250, or more/same will think he could toast you, but you will smoke 'em and earn some gas money!

I was told the other day at one of the local Marine dealer that Xpress would not run with the glass boat. Just because I'm not the speed out of mind, still trying to get it set up. X21TS/Yamaha 250 hpdi with 10" hyd jp. 27 T1 worked and bb by Mark. Only running 75 mph/gps @ 5800rpm

i have been told that the x-21 want run with the x-19 far as speed but i dont know but with yours haveing a 250 i think if you keep working on the set up you could get in the 80s. you mite need to go up in prop size if that dont work i would just keep playing with you set up. when i got my x-19 it had a 25in prop and i could only get about 70-74.6 and i played with props and my jack plat and i found the rite set up and my speeds only keep geting better i runing a 28in prop and a 10in jack im thinking of geting a 12in jack and doing some mods to the motor and may be i can get 86 i would love it if i could.i can run 82.3 with my set up now

Bigger isn't always better. Make sure you ask the pros here and get a second opinion before getting a 12" plate. Oh yeah, you can get spacers (2") and try them. If they don't help or hurt your performance, you can just take them off and they are not too pricey. I think "kk4iz" has a heavier than average load in his boat abd that is costing him a few MPH.

2 inch setback spacers are $65 plus shipping right now at Bob's  ... seems like that's less than I paid for mine a year and a half ago  ....

You know, I bet a 200 cowl would fit a 225, 250, or 300. All the same Block. I really doubt he's turning a 28 pitch prop with a stock 200hp Yamaha hpdi at 82 gps. If he is running those number I would be money someone mislabeled that motor or put the wrong progam in it or something. But it would have to be putting out more than 200 hp.Xpressblake, If that boat is running that fast, you need to hang on to it and treat it well, 'cuz it's probably one of a kind. I think they probably got your 200 cowl and kk4iz's 250 cawl mixed up at the factory.

I was born at night, Not last night. I know of a 190 skeeter/200 that does 85..... It has a 300 hpdi under the cowl, and phase kit I believe... This could be the case here. But I think these posts give others with the same rig unreal expectations.

Well I guess we need to meet up because I need to see this for myself.Like I said mine will run 78 and if you can pass me I'll sell mine the next day and get something else
Any time just let me know I live in Cartersville and I fish at least twice a week on Allatoona.Please don't take me as a smart ass I have just heard these kinds of claims for years about every boat known to man so all I'm asking for is a friendly race and if you can pass me I'll post here as a witness
