New member to the site and I am enjoying all the great info available on here. Want to find out if any others have a 2000 Xpress X51. I got this "new to me" boat about 6 weeks ago and it has the max hp in a Yamaha 90 two-stroke, stainless steel Ballistic prop (don't know the size-not stamped anywhere that I can see), motor is mounted in the 3rd holes from the top. This boat has a fast hole shot and fairly good top end. Trimmed up, it runs about 50-52 mph at 5900-6000 rpm with 1 person, full fuel tank, 3 batteries, and a fair amount of tackle. This is a speedometer reading but I hope to get a gps reading soon. Curious to see if this is about the right level of performance for this rig and if anybody had suggestions or recommendations for improving the numbers. Thanks for any help.
