Nordic 29 deck

[JMS]

I would like here back from people that owed a nordic 29 deck boat. Im having alot of issues with speed for this boat . I have a 600 mercury racing motor and the xr racing drive with a 26 pitch. I have tried a 28p and 30p but nothing really changes on speed. This is a brand new 2020 boat. I can only get the speed up to 53 mph with 4 kids, wife, and myself. We total about 580 pounds altogether. We probably have another 400 pounds in all of the storage cabinets.
This boat went 79 mph with 40 gallons of gas in it and one person driving. Then it went 76 with full tank of gas and storage compartments all filled and one person driving. I was not doing the driving. The only time I've seen it over 60 is when I was at a lake with the elevation of 4600.
I would love to get some feed back of what motor you have in yours and speed you get out of it with just one person and then with people in the boat.
Thanks

What RPMs are you seeing when you're running at 53 MPH vs when it did 79 MPH?

Where are you located and what lake are you on?

Yup. Just read the original thread, It'll be interesting to see what it was. We will be in the market soon for a Nordic deck and were curious about power options.

I had a 29 Nordic deck, 600 stage 3 whipple, Ran a 30 bravo one. Two people in the boat at 6000 RPM it ran 80 MPH......Tried different props that was my top speed.
Re-search speed on these boats , Not a lot of info on these. Cruising speed is why i sold it, 4000 RPM at 47 MPH, and yes i know how to trim the boat !

The Nordics are a big boat. They take a lot of power to go. I would try a 5 blade prop. Maximus or a Hydromotive p5x. The stage 3 whipple upgrade will help. I heard the dual outboard setup runs well.
