High Speed Ventura In 1977 H. Pipkorn
built me a Ventura II that would handle my Evinrude 200. It was heavy and
had a bigger "Hook" than stock. The folks at Land & Sea told
me they blew over two Venturas at around 88 mph, they recommended not to
exceed mid 80s. So I was content flying it at 85mph. One very windy day I
trimmed it down, still had no problem running 85. To make a long story
short, after some tweaking on good days I got 91 mph trimmed in, and it
felt very stable, even in rough water. Ron Baker barely beat me at Fox
Lake drags with his lightened Stream/235 OMC. I hope this helps you
Ventura lovers, which I think is the ultimate boat of all time. If there
are any questions feel free to get in touch. Duke, With
proper balance, setup and prop selection for your boat, as you have found,
is very capable of running over 90. The Ventura is one of the best
designed Hydrostreams ever.
