    Hull running inefficient

    Had the boat out over the holiday weekend and tested it out some more. The prop is the yamaha 15-1/2” 17P 3 blade, maxed out at 5100 rpm and 30 mph, trims all the way up and engine trimmed in various positions to test, got nothing. Also 1.3 mpg seems low. Do you think it being mounted on the...

    Hull running inefficient

    I agree they’re great at low speed but between work and kids my time is limited so it would be nice to get offshore faster would mean more time fishing.

    Hull running inefficient

    Lucky John what night is you motor mounted, I don’t get near those numbers and mines mounted on the third so it’s one from being all the way up.

    Hull running inefficient

    Yes tabs all the way up, plugs and thermostat have been changed and about 350 hours on the motor. I also raised the motor after the permatrim was installed.

    Hull running inefficient

    I have a 2015 2520XLD with a F300 and a permatrim. On Parkers website it says this boat will hit 40 MPH when maxed out and I’m only getting 30kts max at 5300 rpm’s. This leads me to believe my boat isn’t running as efficiently as possible. I’ve raised the motor holes to stop cavitation and the...

    Spray from 2015 2520 XLD stern.

    I’m noticing my boat will not get over 5300 rpm’s and 30kts. On the Parker website it says this boat will hit 40 MPH at full speed and I’m not getting near that. This leads me to believe my boat is not running as efficient as possible even after the permatrim and raising the motor. Is anyone...

    Spray from 2015 2520 XLD stern.

    Installed the permatrim this weekend and got the boat into the water. Not really any performance difference then the above post on flat seas. I was out on Vineyard Sound in 3' seas and I noticed the the boat does handle better in a following sea though I was cruising at 22kts and no pounding. In...

    Deciding between new 2320 and 2520 XLD

    I have a Tundra and tow my 2520XLD with a single 300 short distances all the time with no issues, just take your time. Also I wish I did have the twin 200's. This is a heavy boat and with full gear, gas, and crew it would use a little more power and torque. Theres a big difference between the 23...

    Spray from 2015 2520 XLD stern.

    Mine was an issue from the beginning the spray is on the starboard side of the engine. These are heavy boats and wish I got twin 200's. Like they say theres no replacement for cylinder displacement.

    Spray from 2015 2520 XLD stern.

    I wouldn't be concerned at all about drilling the holes for the permatrim. These are heavy boats so they need a little help lifting the stern. Before the permatrim the boat would porpoise no matter how much I adjusted the trim tabs, it took care of that as well.

    Spray from 2015 2520 XLD stern.

    I agree, do you have a single or twins also have you tried a permatrim. Between the permatrim and lifting the engine my boat handles great now. I can cruise 24kts in 2-3' seas

    Does anybody have Linwood's e mail address?

    Your engine is mounted too low and the spray is from the cavitation plate being under water while on plane. Read my posts about the same issue.

    Spray from 2015 2520 XLD stern.

    I know many of you have had this issue like myself. I found out the engine is mounted too low, mine was on the lowest mounting setting and I raised it all the way up. When on plane the stern spray is gone, my MPG just from 1.2-1.7 and the boat handles much better now that the stern is lifting...
