Hello. I'm looking at a Sea Pro SV2100 Bay -- it's powered by a Johnson 140HP 4S. The owner says he's clocked the boat at a top speed of 43 and 35 cruise. If that's true, I think the boat is underpowered. I know it's rated for a 250. Do others think those numbers are correct with a 140HP? is a SeaPro SV2100 underpowerd with a 140HP motor? Thanks

I have an SV2100 (older model- narrower and lighter) with a Yamaha 200HP v6 2 stroke, and I only get about 48 top end with a full fishing load and 2-4 people. Seems hard to believe that you would get 43MPH with a a rather small 140HP. I believe that's the same engine displacement as the 115HP model, both were Suzuki engines I believe. I would certainly prefer more power on that hull. Good luck...

43 sounds a little high but possible to me ...It could have been empty an no gear on board.... I have an 04 SV2100 with a 150 Yammie 4 stoke and I got 45 out of her before I added the tower --with the tower, a full fuel load and two people, she still runs 41 WOT. How fast do you want to go? I sold the 80+ mph bass boat years ago and now 30-40 is fast enough for me. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Good Question. I have to travel around 10 to 15 miles to get to my fishing areas. The higher the cruise speed the better. Cruise in the high 30's or low 40's would be best.

I had a 2006 SV2100CC with a 225 4 stroke on it. 52 MPH on the GPS. I say that less than 200 HP on that hull is underpowered but I am a recovering bass fisherman so speed is hard for me to get away from. ALOT of these hulls are running around out there with 150 hp. If the numbers you qouted are real, they are respectable. See JP's post. How fast do you need to be?

What year model is the 2100 you're looking at that's rated for 250 hp? ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v731/taz341/USCG002.jpg)

They up'ed the rating since your boat. My 2006 SV2100CC was rated for 225 hp. Maybe the later ones were rated for 250? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) My 2008 SV2400CC is rated for 250 I'm pretty sure...

Yep, they did indeed increase the hp rating from 200 to 225 on the 2100s with the 8.6 beam...but I think the older models that had the 7' 10" beam have a max rating of 200 and a recommended hp of 115 - 150... I haven't seen a 2100 rated for 250 hp but I'm sure it would fly.

What year is your boat? my s2100 is the odler model, you know, with the torquoise and teal sea pro logo and detail. I have a yamaha 150 2 stroke on the back and by myself she'll run a solid 48mph. 3 people and fishing gear ill pull 43 out of her with about a 36 cruise. This is fair for me, but anyone that is new to driving a boat, antything faster than that can be intimidating and can get away from them at times. Hope this helps.

also you have to consider time to plane. I could prop my boat to do 45, but it took way too long to get on plane so I propped back to a more manageable 41, but could plane in time to see what I could potentially hit.
