I'm only getting 64 for my top speed. The Stratos with the 200 E-TECH I had previously would run 70 plus. Thanks

I would think you could run a 23 or 24, maybe a 25 but I am not at all familiar with the 4 strokes... 1987 Nitro MX185/Mercury Black Max 150 (needs lots of work, put motor on nephew's boat) 1994 XSC-2200 "Jaguar" AKA Shadow 22 Magnum (restoring w/Mercury 200 XRI) 1994 Pantera II (restoring w/Mercury 200 EFI) 1999 Triton TX21/225 Mercury Optimax

When you report a boat performance issue, it's just babble until you also tell us the LOAD and the RPM, for starters. Engine height could also be an issue, but in your case, the 21" jumps out right away. Do you know your engines max. operating RPM specification? That's the point you want to be at when running full throttle, no more, no less. Last edited by Flippin-Out; 06/16/20 04:52 PM.

Running a 12 x 21 Tempest Plus and it only run 62 W.O.T. AT 5700 RPM'S. Should have kept my Stratos. I'm trying to find my manual about what this Mercury RPM max is.
