Gotcha. I figured you be running faster than 47MPH with the 350hp engine. I guess the top adds extra drag.

I agree!! My 24SD w/ the Penta 300 touches 50 at WOT. Figured a 220 with more HP would be faster than that.

I'll do a run or two with the top wrapped up and in its cover. That won't make the drag zero, but we'll see if there is any change, if it isn't hidden by other factors like wind. We shall see.

You mean the arch with bimini? For the 2018, there were 4 arch options like that (two black, two white), and one option with a bimini on thinner poles. Or no top at all. We like this one, as it gives something solid to hang on to when boarding over the side for older guests, provides a shady spot when floating, and gives a high mount option for skiing (no tubing from the arch).

Configured just as you see it in the referenced pic, ~47 mph at ~4900 rpm, not quite WOT. The top is tight, no flapping or rattling.

By this weekend, I should have a VesselView mobile installed, and should get some better data.

I've been playing nice during the break in period. Now that the training wheels are off, I'll do some WOT runs adjusting trim and getting data via bluetooth, rather than a quick glance at the dials while looking out for wake boat wakes, and rental pontoons that suddenly stop in the middle of the main channel for NO DISCERNIBLE REASON ... sorry, was veering into a Lewis Black zone there.

I'm sure that there is some drag added by the arch and bimini, but probably not a lot.

I'm sure it'll run ~mid 50s...mine with 300 runs 51 -52 (boat gauge). I can't find it now, but once saw a torque curve where the 300/350 were the same til 4800 - 5000 rpm and then then 350's curve kept going.
