hey guys!!

what is your maximum speed on your 210sp, mine does 74kmh or 46mph?

I have the 310HP

I've seen 45mph on mine with a few people in it. R U running regular gas or 91 octane? My dealer just told me to run 91 for better performance; even though it says 87 on the sticker. I am planning to switch next time out. Awesome Boat!! Love doing the 360's!

[Stef]

Running the 87, let me know when you will try the 91.....

LOL!! I love doing the 360 too, just crazy, being able to doing it with the weight of the boat, just awesome!!!!

On this day, the top speed was 42.


Same boat as you Stef.

What do you mean, 360?

[Stef]

Thanks,

360, when running about 38 mph, hit the throttle to max and turn stearing wheel completly to the right or left, leave the throttle at max, you will see, the boat makes a 360....it's fun

[FJHIII]

Just like the pwc, huh? Interesting, I will have to give it a shot.

[Stef]

Yes exactly......still fun even with the size of the boat

Hey guys; just got back from holidays & logged lots of water time. I ran the Esso 91 octane for the last few tanks of gas. Still tops out @ 44 mph. I personally have not noticed a difference in the 89 vs 91 octane gas. My dealer mechanic said that I might not; but it will make the engines run cleaner. For an extra $10-15 per tank; I think I will keep running the 91.

As for the 360's I found that @ 40 mph; quickly pull back to neutral; turn the wheel hard 90deg; then full throttle again. Should take only a second or two to do this. HANG ON! Be careful when the back end of the boat comes around; because it will lift out of the water & suck air about 2/3 way around. So be ready to pull back to neutral before this happens. Make sure the water is calm if u try this & tell passengers to hang on!
If you want a quick cool down; try pulling back to full reverse when you are doing 30-40 mph! The front end nose dives into the water sending a tsunami over the boat if executed properly! Make sure your bilge pump is working however! I tried it last year & filled the boat to the seats with water! Scared the Crap out of me! Didn't ruin anything however. I found a few videos on You Tube of other people doing it.

I'd love to see a sub-move as you describe on camera in a newer 210 boat. I tried in my S150 and C180 can can't doo it. Maybe I am just being too careful with the reverse bucket.

Hey guys looking at buying one, where is the table stored on the sp can't see it in any of the videos on you tube. How do I know if I am buying the 310 or 430 there is no stickers on the back like the 210 challenger.
