Top Speed 206

[jjackkrash]

What are others getting for top speed on an SN 206 with 330 hp Excaliber? I am topping out at 43 mph and wonder if this is typical.

RE: Top Speed 206

seems slow to me. My 93 hits 46 on GPS. Mine is a bigger boat about the same weight and I dont know the prop diferences between mine and yours.

If thats GPS, that may be about right. My dad's TSC2 196 with the Excalibur tops out at 45-46 (gps), depending on the prop. Thats at ~1200ft above sea level.

I would expect the 206 to be 1-2mph slower.

TRDon, I believe the older Sport hull is a bit faster than the new 196/206.

I am ashamed to say I am not sure, and won't know for sure until I de-winterize. I want to say about 4800-4900.

No, bottom is perfect. I trailer.

RE: Re: Top Speed 206

I've got an 06 206...just bought it late last summer and had it out only a few times. Most trips were not glassy. In the lake I use that is glassy, it is short so not a lot of time to hang out at top speed. Also, all top end trips had more than one person.

Any-who, best I could get was 45 at 4500 to 4600. I've got the 330 with the stock 4-blade prop (422). Previous user left a few dings on the prop but a polished bottom. I sent the prop in for re-work but have not run it since. I'd like to see what max rpm is with the re-worked prop before I order a new prop. I need a spare prop and will likely make the new prop one step towards more rpm and use it as my base prop. I think it will be the three blade 470. I have read the 470 will both increase hole shot and top speed. I will let you know in March.

In my experience on the 196, the 470 will turn about 80-100 more RPM, and pick up ~1/2 MPH on the top end.

MarkP, is that 46mph on GPS? Ive found that both speedos (gauge and PP) are off at WOT, despite being accurate at skiing speeds (30-36). PP reads ~49, but GPS speed says 45-46 on the 196 in question. RPM's are in the neighborhood of 4850-5000. I would expect the 206 to be a tick slower.

It was GPS I was by myself and the water was glass! My speedo is reading higher.

I've got an 07 206 with the Excalibur 330 and also acme 422, I would like to know how you got on with the acme 470 3 blade. I am wanting more speed for barefoot.

206 with 330 / 422 not fast enough for footin?
