1802 Top Speed w/ 115 HP

[kawiski]

Has anyone measured the top speed on relatively smooth water with a GPS? Years ago when I first got the boat I measured it on my 2004 1802 Trophy with 2 adults on board and I think it was something like 38 or 42 mph max. But I am not sure, any idea?

What RPM were you able to get 38 mph?
Also, was it with the aluminum OEM prop - 13.75 x 15?

5800ish i think max is 6 so i keep it below that, yeah stock prop, honestly not sure what the pitch is but its the one it came with.. its trimmed up a bit, that makes a huge difference to get the speed

Thanks for letting me know.
I took out mine to Lake Mojave last week and, @5000 rpm w/ original prop, I reached 30 mph with 3 adults and full tank with the trim FULL down. The original aluminum prop is 13.75 x 15. I also measured GPH for 3 different days, and I got average of 4.5 gallons per hour (5000 rpm for the 70+ % of the time) while my PWC riding buddies were consuming as much as 6 to 7 gph!
