I was wondering if others can share what top speed they have been able to reach with the Challenger 230, preferably the 520 powered.
Thanks in advance.
 
What year is your boat? Have you had many issues with it?
It is 2012, 89 hours. It has new pumps, new battery, original everything else. Have only had it since springtime, so only 7 trips so far. It has been a saltwater boat it’s whole life. No issues at all (knock wood). New pumps is probably the key difference between yours and mine, and you have more ponies.
 
When you say pumps, are you talking fuel pumps or jet pumps? I picked mine up in March, I am the second owner, 125 hours, been a saltwater boat as well, but kept on a lift. So far had to change the cluster (tach for starboard side wasn't working), exhaust temp and intake temp sensor port engine, new supercharger port side (couldn't be rebuilt) battery switch (came apart) and new battery. Just got new regulators for both engines due to an over voltage issue (have a Candoo Pro so it is charging way to much) tripping overvoltage/check engine, battery light. Have taken it out a half dozen times between fixes so I haven't been able to really check it out (wife was on board), tops so far around 46 with more to go, just have a nervous wife. After the regulators, will take it out solo and see what it does.
