How goes it everyone? I am hoping I could draw on everyone's experience.
I am running a 03' with the standard 150 HPDI. I have never been exactly thrilled on the top end speed with this setup. I have a collapsible tower on the boat which does create some significant sail area but with WOT end I am only making maybe 22-25 kts at about 3800-4200 rpms depending how I have her trimmed with the tabs. Now I have had this motor tested and it comes back with zero codes and have had my throttle adjusted to ensure I am getting full range and injectors opening fully at the top end. I am meticulous with filters and fuel system. Initially I was concerned I wasn't propped right but in considering the top end rpms I am getting I don't know. I will say I typically run with 2-3 people around st Petersburg fl and I carry more fuel than I need usually about 75% of that 93 gallon tank. So can you help a brother out?
Any 21SE owners with 150 hpdi's out there what are you guys getting on the top end?
what are your recommendations?
I am thinking about repowering with a quality used 200 hp two stroke. I have been offered an older Ox66 with known and trusted maintenance record at basically what I can trade the 150 in for. Or always looking for 200 hp deals out there.
I have the cash to repower but it seems like everyone I have talked to is really happy with a 21se and 150. So please educate me!
all the best and tight lines!
