    61 mph !!? I like.....

    I sell tons of the F115's and they perform flawlessly.
    We only sell the Best. Ranger, Xpress, Yamaha, Suzuki, Tohatsu.

    Gotta be a typo. No way it will do 61 with that motor and prop. I've got the same boat with a F115...........

    Default New Yamaha F115B 4 stroke

    I can tell you mine does 43 on my express loaded or not. Brm tried to tell me he went faster with it before I got it lol. I guess my fat but slowed it down but 5800 rpm and 43 mph I have very little slip.

    I have had mine 3 years without doing anything but maintenance, however I am having issues with it now. I am having a hard time locating a dealer near me to get it in and actually fix it. My rig has been in two shops now and not fixed. The newer four stroke motors are not something that many mechanics can work on now days.

    bowhunter that makes me wonder how this new design F115B is gonna work. What is your problem?

    Maybe I'll just go with the ProXs, it seems to be proven.

    I've had mine to 51 with a PTR3 21 pitch, turning 5600 rpm. I just got a Yamaha K19, only had it out once (Saturday) and got to 49.5 at 6000 rpm. Those are GPS speeds. I get much better hole shot with the k19.

    Default New Yamaha F115B 4 stroke

    The motor surges when on top end and
    When I come off plane it dies. Those are great speeds tx what boat is that on? I have a power tech prop. 19pitch

    My boat will do 42 loaded or unloaded lol. It ain't a speed demon but rides good.
