I have a new 2021 259. I ordered this Boat and when came in was not to spec and many systems did not work. Sea Pro has fixed all problems. however it took me having to make 2 trips to the plant. The people try hard, however there QC lacks. Good riding Boat just make sure it is right before you get it.

I'm glad to hear that everything was taken care of, but yes, good, quality workers are hard to find anymore.

I have a new 2022 208 with a 200 HP Suzuki with a 3 bladed 16 x 21.5 propellor. So far during my initial rides, the top end performance for this boat 5700 RPM and 41 MPH.
Sea Pro's published Performance Data Sheets state the following: 228 with a 200 HP Suzuki with a 3 bladed 16 x 21.5 propellor top end is 6100 RPM and 48 MPH. 208 with a 150 HP Suzuki with a 3 bladed 15 x 21 propellor top end is 6000 RPM and 46 MPH.
So, my new boat, so far, has the smaller of these 2 boats with the larger of these 2 engines and has lower performance than both.
Does anyone else have a 208 with a 200 HP Suzuki and if so, what kind of performance do you have and what type of prop do you have?

So, my new boat, so far, has the smaller of these 2 boats with the larger of these 2 engines and has lower performance than both. Does anyone else have a 208 with a 200 HP Suzuki and if so, what kind of performance do you have and what type of prop do you have? I don't have the newer 208 but just for comparison, my 2100 is basically the same hull (only 4" longer) and I have the Suzuki DF150 with a 16 x 18.5 prop. Max speed is 42 mph at 6,000 rpm with a full fuel tank and heavy load. I find it hard to believe a 208 with a 150 would would turn 6,000 rpms with a 21" prop. Performance can vary on any boat depending on several factors, (weight, prop, conditions, etc). The best you can do is experiment with different props until you get as close to recommended max rpms as possible (which I believe is 6,100 rpm for the DF200). 5700 rpms is well within the operating range but if your looking for the best performance and more speed I'd suggest dropping prop size an inch or two to get the rpms closer to 6100. btw: congrats on the boat and welcome to the forum.

I would check the mounting height, both those you referenced are in hole #2.

Mounting height is one of those "factors" so yes, as suggested, check your motor mounting height first b4 you experiment with different props. Look to see if the motor's cavitation plate is running at or very near the surface while the boat is on plane.

Thanks for feedback. I have a jack plate and tested the top end at varying heights. Thanks again.

Yeah, you probably need to downsize the prop or pitch, but not much. Those extra 400 rpm can make a huge difference I clocked 44 in my old heavy 210 last weekend.
