Almost 90 MPH

Post: # 17022Post Bayou Native »

Well here's what I got...'82 V-King with a '90 XR4 150 with 20" mid, prop shaft even with the pad spinning a 28P SRX 6700 rpm's @ 89 mph gps. I'm satisfied for now, until I do some more tricks to my engine but it'll be awhile! What do you guys think?
Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

I had it worked to 28 from 26 and added alot of cup because it was only 13 1/4 X 26. I'm 35 and the guy that did it has been working props for as long as I can remember.

Sounds like we have some very generous speeds. I have run Hydrostreams for 25 years. Last V-king was powered by a 200xs ss os. It run 89mph with a 28 pitch @ 6800 rpm. I have run 150's and none run the #'s mentioned here. My vector with a warmed 260 was mean.
