2013 2520XLD yamaha F300 performance numbers

[052520]

Finally got out today ! Just filled up with 200 gal of fuel , 15 gal of fresh water , gear , & 2 people. I will say I'm impressed with the performance. I can't believe how much faster and how much nicer it rides compared to my 09 2520sl.

4600 rpm , 34 mph, 13.96 gal per hour , 1.9 mpg.
5500 rpm , 44 mph seemed to be WOT

You can just tell this boat weighs more, rides awesome, and really has impressive #s considering my 09 had 250 hp but weighed a lot less & was a MV hull. My 09 cruised at about 28 mph @ 4600.

I actually went searching for rough water !!!

What engine are you running on your new boat?

If a 6,000 max RPM motor you should have turned at least 5700 RPMS ... higher is better.

Sorry I missed the F300 in the title. That is the engine i want on my next boat.

Great motor!! I just bought a 2014 2320 with the 300 couldn't be happier. Good luck !

How is the boat doing. I was looking at same set up. What was price on boat alone? I decided to look for used. Does the boat roll bad at drift? Thanks T

Interesting comments. I have a 300 hp on my 25 pilot hse. Never tried running WOT on my 2012 vessel. If my nerves allow I will try running WOT. Did not know my boat is that fast. Thanks

Well then quess what ... without running it there, YOU HAVE NO IDEA if your boat is wearing the right prop! Check out the 'sticky' post on checking the prop pitch AND motoe height as listed in the Power forum.
