Max cap rated for a 75 but if I can get insurance to strap a 90 hp 2 stroke Yammie (Only 60 lb heavier than the 50) on the transom who knows what she'll top out at but I'd like to find out.

hutch4113 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 2008 Smokercraft Pro V 182. 18.2 feet, with 8 foot beam. Powered by 115HP Mercury Optimax. With 2 people, and full load of gear/tank, I have had it as high as 42MPH - WOT. Or course it was as smooth as glass that time. Average is more like 40 to 41 MPH, via the GPS. RPM's show 6000 - but I doubt that gauge. There is supposed to be an over speed warning at 5800 (or so) and a limiter at 6000. Running a 3 Blade 21P. Thinking of going to a 4 blade 19P, maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
