Our New Baby, 2024 252SE 🎉

[Hot2Go]

Quick performance update as it is our last day at Lake of the Ozarks and I’ll post pics when we are home.

With 6 adults, 2 teens, 3 kids, 50-60% fuel, plus gear and cooler I got max speed of 44mph with bimini deployed with a slight south breeze behind us, water conditions weren’t glass but wanted to try it. When I ran to get fuel last night I ran wide open and got 48mph with just me on board and around 40% fuel, water conditions weren’t the greatest but still worth a shot. After I got fuel the starboard engine didn’t want to start as easy, which was probably due to running wide open and then slowing down quick and docking for fuel.

The boat is doing well, even handling pretty good sized wakes from some cabin cruisers. My average speed has been around 35-40mph most of the trip. My average MPG is 1.8, want to say running 30-35mph is the best for 1.9-2mpg pending how many you have aboard plus gear.

Had a great almost week at LOZ! Had some rain at night and mornings but didn’t deter our days at all! Filled the tank twice so used a lot of fuel! Even went past a wreck between a MTI and tritoon, thankfully no one was killed, just some minor injuries.











Visited many lakeside restaurants from MM19 to 47. The house we stayed in at the 40 is one of our favorites with the slide and diving platform. The neighbors who live down there full time liked us, said they enjoy good families, and then gave us the owner’s personal cell to save us some money next time we go back. We go back over the shootout from Wednesday to Sunday before the oldest starts school that following Monday, sad since summer is almost over!

Love it!! Glad to see after the early overheat issue the boat has worked out great and that you are putting a lot of time on it!
