Top speed

Postby masfel » Sun Oct 06, 2019 2:07 pm

Hello! I write from Italy, just introduced myself in the other section.
I have a 2000 Excalibur 26 with Merc 502 engine. I bought the boat in a river place and it was without anti-fouling paint. In sea water i touched 59 mph at the begin. Now I must paint the hull and it seems that I lost 5 mph... Can anyone confirm that this is normal and the speed are good/normal?
Thanks a lot
Filippo

According to the product information guide on the Wellcraft website your top seed is advertised at 62.4mph with the 502 Merc. You were pretty close to that number. I would expect a drop in mph with bottom paint but I have no experience to tell me what would be a normal drop.

Seems like an abnormal drop.Get it checked or contact manufacturer.
