flatsfisher772 Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 I've got a 2000 16 Bayfisher with a 90 Yamaha 2 stroke. Wondering what you guys with a similar setup get for speed at WOT? Max I've been able to get is 35MPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HewesYourDaddy Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 That's about right. I'm seeing avg. 38-40 mph WOT on gps depending on load and conditions. I'm running a 90 Merc 2-stroke on a '96 bonefisher. Keep in mind that my engine has a higher displacement also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurem Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 I had a 1998 Bayfisher with a 90 Yamaha and could get 38-40 running light. On a regular load I remember a few MPH less. Those were the good old days!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 I had a 97 with a 90, would do 42mph. Dang Dale thats a good pic. Looks just like my old boat in the front and my current boat in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurem Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 I want to say my boat did low 40's too but didn't remember for sure.That was at a casual get together for members at ft Desoto area back in early 2000. That is gary burch's boat on the background. He is a member on here too. I LOVED that boat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurem Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 G.T. What prop are you running? Do you have the 90 2 stroke or 4 stroke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geaux Time Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I have a 90 2 stroke. Not sure of the prop pitch etc. I'll take a look this week and let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk232 Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 i have a 90 2 stroke and a 13x15 turbo 3 blade prop and the other day while testing with dale it did 39.5mph at 5800rpm. thats pretty typical, though it will occasionally go 40.5 at 6000 rpm. holeshot is fantastic (as dale found out ) considering its a 3 blade. grip is decent with regular trim but really trimmed out it is only good for straight line basically, any steering input causes it to blow out. I tested a 4 blade prop (i dont remember the details but Dale will since it was his prop) and it did everything worse (except grip while trimmed out) than my 3 blade. 31.9 mph at 5500 rpm, slower holeshot. it seemed to have more sternlift though as the boat felt higher in the water. Dale watched as i went by and said that he also thought the boat seemed higher in the rear than with the 3 blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16bayfisher Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have the exact same blat. Normally 38 is top speed, but have hit 42 mph if the tide and wind is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
