HAHAHAHAHAAA......that's funny.
........74 on the Speedo
74mph in a 247 with the 496HO???? Is that possible? Not hating....sweet boat. Just amazed at that number.
Welcome to your new addiction. :D

Welcome to your new addiction. :D
I think possible. When John built them I think they were just a tad quicker than the Stealth. I've had my Stealth bouncing 68-69 with 6 people, full tanks, ice chest and gear. This is with the 496 Mag. They lake tested my boat at 75 but that is with little fuel no gear and only Mike Harlan in the boat.

Great Boat, I have the same model and model. WIth 4 people, full tank of gas I can push 74-75 mph. Loaded with 8 people, ice chest and Havasu chop it will pull 68-70 all the way back to the dam. Great boat. This is also my first imput to the Forum, so welcome as well.

[HighRoller]

I wouldn't doubt it. From what I recall that's a stepped hull and the Stealth is not, therefore the difference in speed.

[Artv]

Nice looking boat, the guys at Genesis are very out going. If everything goes as planned my brother will be opening a Genesis dealer in phoenix. My Bro just had a meeting with Joel and Jerry from Genesis last week...

[CBLavey]

Congratulations. Beautiful boat and great taste in colors!

[voodoomedman]

I wouldn't doubt it. From what I recall that's a stepped hull and the Stealth is not, therefore the difference in speed.
I think it has more to do with the Stealth being bigger and weighing more. The Stealth has a notched Delta pad which gives it the speed without the wacky handling characteristics of steps.

Hmmmmmm...

[rivermama]

what is the hmmmm about? are you saying the speed of his boat with that much weight in it may not be accurate???

[Supultlbich]

not at all.....just thinking out loud.

how do you administer the viaga to your boat?

[Throttle]

moore power to this guy if thats for real... I think his speedo is happy and needs to run with a gps. how does it do in 120+ degree temps?

[Indobos]

Thanks guys for the awesome replies. Sorry no pics of the significant. I barely have any of myself.. The guys at Genesis are Awesome Rudy, Joel Ishmael, Eddie, Jerry the whole lot of them. Made me feel glad I bought from them. Like part of the group instead of just a buyer. As far as the numbers I would like to see what the damn thing will do on GPS as well. Just waiting for Deckkat to buy one so I can bum it from him..Lol. Anyways I can tell gonna really enjoy these boards. Just got back from a trip with the kids. Can't wait for the Adult weekend Labor Day.. :supp:

[Supultlbich]

Adult weekend, there you go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just had one......and we get one more in two weeks, anyone have a portable dialysis machine????

[dicudmore]

welcome to the boards...
good-looking boat :D
I think we passed a few times last weekend

[dicudmore]

the 74 is certainly possible with the 247...
When Ultra was building them I know of one that was 78+ when lightly loaded

[M&M247]

I would love to run it on a GPS as well. Number is consistent everytime I'm on the water. Better yet, it runs 74 at RPM of 4500. I have a couple new props to try to get RPM's closer 5000 to 5300 or so. :)

don't make me out to be a smartazz but is that propane gas with 8 midgets and and 6 pack playmate cooler?
are you gettin pulled by someone else or are you still pushin 68-70 in Havi chop... it does not sound like a fun nride to me, but its a nice boat.

[M&M247]

Hey thanks for the comments. I was very impressed myself and couldn't believe it either. Ride is great with tabs. No harm intended, I was just impressed with the response of the boat. Thanks

No harm taken bro, but stay away from that 5300!!! What other props are you planning on trying??

[M&M247]

I was told that redline is about 5700, sounds as if this was incorrect. In your opinion what would you run at? I have two 4 blade props, but not sure which exact ones, I will have to get back to you on that.

Was out at Mojave and found the Sweet spot on the trim. Had the Kids 4 of them and me and the wife(And No still no pictures..lol) full load and was runnin it WOT hit 70 on the speedo(not GPS) but couldn't hold it there long Wife was yelling again. She says why ya need to go so fast? I got the 496 Ho and she got the upgraded stereo. Think I will keep the volume at half and ask her."Why ya need it so loud? The radio volume gets only as high as the throttle." Think that might work? :p

First of all I am by no means an expert, but I will say that we have the same motor, and we run a laved 24 pitch prop and we top out right around 70 trimmed up. Thats on a tattle tale GPS. I have never tried a 26, but dont think I have enough motor for it.
As far as the red line for your RPM's I dont have the exact number. When we bought our boat Kevin Cooper from Lavey Craft told me that 5150 was the maximimum. Hope that helps

If your going 70 mph and can still hear the stereo clearly, then you got one hell of an upgraded stereo!!!! :p
My wife has a standing rule of 50 mph when the kids are in the boat, your not alone. :(

Did you buy yours used? I don't think Lavey ever had that hull. In fact it is my understanding that Lavey grinds up their molds when they are done producing a boat.

that picture in his avatar looks like a Lavey, not a 247 morph...
we're not talking apples with apples

I dont know what they so with the molds, but that would stand to reason. I know its a Lavey though!! :)

[voodoomedman]

Probably just kinda looks the same but if you look closely it's not. The 247 Mold was a DCB then Ultra bought it and now that Ultra designs all their own stuff they sold it off when they sold the Lightning Name and Genesis lays them up for themselves and for Lightning and it appears sometimes that people will slap Ultra stickers on their in a counterfit scheme. Lavey grinds up there molds so that there is no confusion or anything with any company building boats like their's.

[Supultlbich]

I didnt know that, but it makes sense. Seems like the Ultra family is similar to the Soprano family??? :) Are the molds pattented in any way?? It would seem from what your saying that Ultra has a legitimate beef??? Anything they can do about it, or is that just the nature of the business??

[termiteguy]

welcome to the boards i too have genisis i got mine 2 1/2 years ago i was one of their first customers the first to buy the 236 i have zero problems with my boat :cool:

[Throttle]

5700
you better check your merc book for that, but I am thinkin that is too high! just a guess though.

John did sell the molds. It is just a branding issue. I don't know who did it but we just found a knockoff on here a couple of weeks ago. Ultra is a kick a$$ reputable company but John had to straighten a few things out since he bought it. Now all his boats are built and rigged at his factory in El Cajon and they are just awesome peeps. Unfortunately there are some non reputable people in this industry. But I don't want to hijack this thread. It is about this guys new Genesis and he is happy with it. I only brought up Ultra because I was trying to help validate his speed statements.
