Have you run this boat Jeff? What did you see for top speed trimmed out w/those F200s?

I have not personally, but just spoke with our sea trial guy. He said it tops out around 55 mph and cruises at about 37 mph.
Hope this helps,
Jeff

My 275 DC has twin F200 Yammies. Same hull I believe, although in the DC configuration I think I weigh slightly more. My top end is closer to 46-47 MPH unless artificially lightly loaded (like no passengers, no water and minimal fuel and gear). I'm not sure I believe 55 MPH or a 37 cruise as realistic. Maybe with twin 250s...anyone else care to chime in with numbers from your CC?

Also best MPH cruise is 26.

Richard I find those numbers to be much more believable as a best case. Let's just keep it real for people looking at a new boat...you can't tell them a boat will do 55 MPH/37 MPH Cruise when it just won't. 50.2 is 8.73% lower at WOT than Jeff's numbers. I think that is significant. Not that 50.2 is bad, just don't inflate the numbers to buyers.

Sales pitch, let's see if this gets deleted also.

Under the following conditions it might do 55: following seas, heading with current , aft winds at 25 or higher. Like I told the admiral none of our boats ever reached the sale pitch on anything including speed. Even Jeff avoided knowledge of the speed, just said he heard from someone else. If it’s not in writing they will tell you whatever it takes to sell you the boat.

Heck I've hit 49 light in my boat with twin F150s. I'd sure hope twin f200s could do better than 1mph more.

I have done 600 knots, ground speed, in a 767, at 41000 feet, with a +150 knot tailwind. As for boats, at full throttle, trimmed up as much as possible, smooth water, light weight, I have been at xx.x, a very temporary, very limited, condition dependent speed. Yet somehow, people lock-in on the top speed like it’s the MVP of a boat. The sweet spot cruise speed is more important to me.

I think the correlation being that the higher horsepower engine that's able to push the same boat at a faster top speed generally will have a faster cruise speed at the same or better efficiency of a boat powered with lower horsepower.

I had twin 200 hp zukes on my 2009 2660. Top end was 49. But, it had a fiberglass T-Top which I feel added weight and restricted air flow. Didn’t really run her much over 40 because it didn’t make sense for safety, fuel burn, or a comfortable ride. HOWEVER, the advantage of the 200s were getting the ass end quickly out of the water which was a blessing with a following sea coming through the inlet. Never had a concern of a wave catching up to me.
