Last month I ordered a FourWinns 194 Funship with the Volvo Penta 270HP-SX set up (Thanks to all who steered me away from the DP for this size boat)I pick it up on Monday!..... My question is about the overall Performance and Top Speed. I have watched the iboat test video for the 194 and have read the specs...Top Speed 37.1 MPH, what I don't understand is that when I compare to other boats i.e much heavier than mine with the same Engine and Drive they are showing much better top speeds? To my simple mind if two similar boats (weight the only difference)are using the same output, how can much heavier boats be faster @ Top End?, some showing 45-49 MPH?<br />Not a big deal.... Just curious<br /><br />Thanks / Meadview

I agree that the 37mph figure is absurdly low! Figure it was just a silly typo and forget it.<br /><br />Kelly Cook
