Question re: 2510 XLD performance numbers

[Socasays]

Guys: I am looking at a 2510xld (walk around, deep V) with a single 300. It will be used for diving (4 guys, 8 tanks, etc.). What kind of performance numbers should I expect? I am concerned that it may be underpowered because of the extra load. Thanks, Soca

Maximum HP on that hull is 500 hp, though I'd have a hard time calling it 'underpowered' with a single 300.

I don't see your exact combination in the Yamaha archived performance bulletins, but here's a 2520mv with 300hp. Should be close, heavier boat but faster deadrise. Here's the link http://yamahaoutboards.com/sites/default/files/bulletins/bulletin_otb_2StrokePerf_HPDI_300hp_03-89-PKR-C.pdf
