Sanger 215V question

Is there storage in the bow? I know the center cushion comes out, but are there storage compartments under the other 3 cushions? thanks

Kevin, my D215 does 42 at 2000 foot altitude with a 12 pitch prop but I'm not at my peak rev range so I will have.to drop pitch and should actually pick up 1 or 2 mph
I can't post a pic soon but it never popoises and is clean but noticable. I have the 330 hp

Ok that is very close to what My Enzo 216 is getting

Kevin, I did 48.5 this morning with 3 people in the boat with the stock prop. I was at 800 ft altitude, almost an empty tank of gas, and fairly smooth water. I don't have a pic of the wake at that speed. I can get you one the next time out.

48.5 on a GPS?

Yep, 48.5 on a GPS...Garmin 60csx to be exact. I just adjusted my throttle cable since the boat was never winding out. The Black Scorp would only top out at about 4900 rpm. Now it goes to 5200 no problem and I was shocked at the amount of top end I gained.

just curious how did you adjust your throttle cable?

Kenny, I adjusted the clamp that holds the cable to the motor. I also went to the lever and adjusted there, decreasing the angles where I could. I lubed the cable as well. I'm heading over to your other thread.

I just put grease in at either end of the housing and worked it in...I don't know how much it really did, but it does feel a lot smoother. I was figuring that the most friction is at either end, where the bends are, so that's where grease it probably needed.

guess I could do that now also. Thanx

my 215 has never seen over 25 mph j/k but it seems that way. Wrong boat to go fast with

But it's a Sanger....going fast is in its' DNA!!!

"Wrong boat to go fast with"

Why?

Kevin,
I'm not sure what the top speed is but I've been with Coop when he's pulled footers (long line).

I've been in a VLX while pulling footers too.

My guess would be around 46-47.

Thats pretty close, maybe 45? Ballast empty, but did have some lead in the boat...
