approx top speed

[speedy]

i just want to get an idea of what kinda speed i will get out of my 4.35 kakadu karrier side console with a 50hp merc on it i pick it up in a week or so just wondering if any one got an idea???

[mackmauler]

should be topping out around 28 knots, go hard.

[speedy]

i was expecting a bit more its a 2 stroke 50 ive been told around 40 knots just hoping some one had something similar that could get me right on the money

[jimbamb]

get a lend of a gps.it will tell ya xactlyhow fast ya goin

[Mad_Barry]

I'll advance the bid from Mackmaulers 28 & go for early 30's don't think you'd see 40 though.

Why don't we have a little competition to see who can guess it before next week, then you can report back with who was the closest. (knots, not MPH or KMH, & measured by a GPS).

I'll place a bet of 31.5 ?

Ill go 32kts

[Gbanger]

we need a controlled enviroment to make this fair betting chaps... wind, swell and load...

[2iar]

I'll go lower, based on the fact if the motor's in the run-in period, you'd be mad to push it

Good luck,
Mike

ill know next week end exactly ive got a mate who has a 4.35 hornet trophy(which weigh about the same) with a 40 4 stroke on it on it he reckons he gets 33knots on a flat day full throtle so my geuss would be around at least 38 knots. will post the answer as soon as i get it out there keep the geusses comin

[speedy]

ill push it hard my brother a marine mechanic from where im buying it

[vertico]

32.75

[Pwoida]

30.9

[krazyfisher]

here are some speeds I know
4.35 hornet with 40hp 2/s 56kph
4.55 bluefin 6ohp 2/s60kph
4.55 poly with 50 2/s 56kph

i say 60kph
i would love to see it at 40kns

[QldKev]

I'm going the 32knots

[philip_thomson]

krazyfishers speeds converted are

60km/h = 33knts
56km/h = 31knts

therefore krazyfishers guess is for

33knts


my guess would be 29.134knts
