I have a Challenger 2000... with a half tank of fuel, with current, with a little chop on the water and 1 passenger, and impellor / wear ring that is in "decent shape".. I can get about 52mph....

In other words... alot of variables... but you are looking at 50-55mph. I would imagine with the right conditions you could hit 60 mph

Yep... sounds about right.

In my Islandia.... half a tank of fuel, no water in the fresh tank... and only me.... I can almost touch 50. So... the Challenger 2000 is a solid 1000 Lbs lighter... so I would think 55~57 would be right.


But as above... there are A LOT of variables. A little wear in the pump can show up as 4 to 7 mph off the top. Also... adding people, or putting the top up will scrub speed.

Those are pretty accurate numbers compared to what people are reporting. Lots of variables.

We posted a photo of the GPS in a thread about speed. I saw 52 mph on GPS with two adults in our X20. And that was reading about 55 on the speedo. 48-50 on Speedo with a full boat is about the norm in many conditions.
