I just got my Challenger 180 CS.

It is my first boat and I had a lot of fun my first weekend.

One question. I noticed that the fastest I could go on pretty calm water was 40mph. Is the speedo accurate?

Thanks guys!

Mine was not accurate at all. It showed approx. 15 mph too slow. You can adjust the speedo from the back. Make sure it is on setting 5, and then turn the dial ever so slightly and then test with GPS. Keep dooing this until you have the accuracy you want. Mine is about dead on up to 30 mph. I lose about 1.5 mph at WOT. Thats close enough for me. By the way, you'll need a small slotted screwdriver to adjust the speedo.

I have an 06 180 CS. Are there any specs on this speedo? You mention setting it on 5. Is the dial separate from the number selection?

Thanks.
