Hey guys I got a 94 captiva 170 with 94 merc 125 on it last spring. Anyway I get about 45gps with 21p aluminum on it. Anybody running a boat similar to this and getting better top end. I am not looking for crazy speed but compared to some of my friends boats it seems I should be a little faster. Just curious as to what you rinker owners are getting. Thanks

What are your RPM's at WOT? Have you run alongside these faster boats?

Re: Top Speed 170 captiva

My rpms are actually around 5300-5400 wot which is over the 5250. I just thought that is strange because a 21p is about the most I think the motor could handle. The boats I go out with are much different than mine, bigger boats with bigger outboards. I know this is apples to oranges just seems that my little 17footer with a 125 should do closer to 50, I may be way off and don't care about the extra speed just more curious if anyone else has this setup and what they run.
