How fast are 18-19 footers with 200hp wackers

My Bahner tunnel ran an honest 80mph....saw 84 one time in just the right water with the boat empty and light on fuel. In the COR class, 75-80 is typical with a 2.0L (warmed up 150hp).

I haven't ran my "new" Lavey 18'10" yet with a relatively stock 2.4L 200hp...I'm told it's an ass dragger...we'll see.

So what is a typical speed of a 18-19 jet with 450-550 hp then
60-75 mph^^^^..my 18' Advantage cyclone ran 94 mph on the clocks in the 1/4 mile with a 670 hp. pump gas BBC and was a blast to drive in the chop.

Some of you guys are crazy with your opinions :D
My 2 to River boats
19'cp jet River boat full interior 689 hp 97mph ,
Hyd roller cam pump gas .

18 cole tr2 flat bottom River boat 575 hp hyd roller cam ,pump gas , 90 mph

Some of you should start going to NJBA races.
Some of those jets are super quick to 600 feet.

Both boats are super fun.
The Cp is like a old Cadillac compared to the Cole , easy to drive , easy around docks sits 4/6 with ice chest and water skies.
The Cole is a true drivers boat and super fun , 2 seater
Need to learn to drive the. the more seat time time the better

I had 1000hp in my CP for a few years 118 mph was my top speed , super fun , but a PIA
1000 hp in my cole. 140/ 150 mph . No thanks

Have fun

I had a 18' jet with a 460 and top speed was 70. But a great cruise around river boat , actually used it as my parker winter boat...

If I was going with jet for parker, I think a CP is a great boat. I know some guys that have them and run them on parker strip...too

After seeing this thread evolve a little more, maybe an outboard is the way to go. You won't have that obnoxious blower irritating your friends as they enjoy pole to hole seating and if you're feeling nostalgic you can start it with a quick pull of the string. What's not to love? :D

Will 500 hp get 50s or 60s on a jet
in a 18'-19' lo profile jet 60-75 mph depending on hull and pump quality (tightness) 50-60 mph in a 20-21' cruiser. Like ALLL boats it all depends upon hull quality and eng. drive combo.

Does a jet handle different then a wave runner does. Have lots and lots of time o. Seadoo 255s
They share many similarities......most similar in that you have to use the throttle to make them turn

You can’t compare a njba jet that has 100k in motor/pump to a Tahiti 455 olds with a panther pump. The UBFJ are amazingly quick and fast. I respect those guys. The idiot jet Boters that wheelie there piles in circles are just clowns.

Do Berkley jets have reverse. I’m assuming it has a reverse plate like a ski does?
yes... jet boats have a reverse "gate" that lowers and covers the exit nozzle to re-direct the water flow back under the boat. It's operated by a control handle at the drive helm.

On a v drive with no trans. Is there a neutral?
It depends. It may have a in-and-out V-drive. That is basically a shifter on the output shaft of the actual V-drive box allowing you to start and run the boat in neutral. Usually it is then shut off, placed in gear and then re-fired. Flatbottoms are fun
