5800rpms 50knots 25gph 2.30mpg

I also have a 23” Tempest Plus and have seen 53.2 knots which was with 2 people and 30 gallons of fuel. However, that was at 5400rpms and I still want to send the prop away to have it customized so 5800rpms would be reached. I am thinking 54 – 55 knots after prop work has been done. I have not done this because I am very happy with the 4Blade prop and the boat performs awesome. There have been many hours put into this machine while testing props and motor heights (on 5th highest hole now).

Price
$31,000 for the entire package.

My beloved 21 Contender. I can't believe your selling it. I was the original owner and sold it to Randy who sold it to you. I had that top custom made for the boat. I owned it for 9 years and the trailer I only had for about 2 months when I sold it. Have the kodiak all stainless brakes lived up to their reputation? Best boat I ever owned! I'm sure it won't last long.
