Looking for Information

I recently won a Legend 195 with a 200 Optimax and Im looking to upgrade to a 199 with a 225 or a 211 with a 250. Speed is a factor. I dont fish much rough water so the length is not an issue.

I have run a 195 with a 200 and ran a 199 with a 225 today. I got 72GPS today and I saw 71GPS with the 195. The 211 with a 250 will be the fastest but will also cost more. A 199 with a 225 Pro XS may be the way you would want to go. Gottgetta199 has a Pro XS on his maybe he will chime in later.

If all your wanting is speed and you have the money, go with the Alpha-211 with a 250XS or even a 300.

I have a 199 with a 225 Pro XS and the best I've gotten is 74.4. I could get my 27p Tempest balanced and blueprinted and probably pick up 2-3 mph, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Steve is getting nearly 80 with his 21 footer with the 250XS.

I would think 70+ in a 19 footer would be like running nearly 80 in a 21 footer.
