I got my registration number decals made a few days ago. It is the "OREO" font. Oreo Cookies are dangerously addicting.

Nice looking boat you've got there! Of course, I'm biased towards the blue. :wink:

Enjoy!

My boat has the wrong prop (2000 H180 135hp) as I'm getting 5000rpms at 3/4 throttle, but it's still fast enough to beat my neighbor's Yamaha XL700 jet ski. Roughly 43-45mph. With a better prop, KN filter, and a fresh tune up I'd put $5 I can see 50mph out of it.

If skiing, then ardy is right, the 19p version of this prop would haul you out of the water pretty quickly. As it is right now, the 20p cruises at a few mph faster (or a few hundred rpm slower for the same speed) and brings the revs right up to the max rpm.

Chris/Ardy, I'm really leaning on the Mercury Vengeance 21 pitch because I'm aiming for top speed and not skiing. It's going for $381.45 shipped on eBay. The Enertia is $150 more and I'm not quite sure its worth it, in my opinion.

What a beautiful boat consider yourself lucky my friend I am still waiting for delivery of my H220SS from NC. Seems the dealer can't figure out the bank won't fund the deal unless they have the MSO on the trailer. This has been going on for a month I am starting to think the dealership didn't expect to sell it so cheap on ebay with their no reserve auction. I will keep you all posted anyone driving down to Miami from North Carolina?

With the stock 21 pitch prop, I went 42 mph @ 4400 rpm today. I was by myself with approximately 1/2 tank fuel and trim at 45% or so.

I have a 19 pitch prop, and with GPS I hit 38mph @ 5000 with my carb'd 3.0. I would love to have a 21 prop back on the boat. I don't tow/ski/wakeboard.

I have the 135hp engine but it's that gutless it's annoying the hell out of me. I just bought a 225hp v6 mercruiser to put in it so it will be very interesting to see how that goes. We put it in in about 4 weeks time so I'll keep everyone posted!
