Caymas Boats CX19 Performance Test (TOP SPEED)

[@davidjames9032]

I have this exact boat. I hit 72 with full tank and tour load. Took a while to get the trim and hydraulic plate figured out for top speed. I think from factory with fixed Jack plate 68 is what you get. By raising the motor a few inches, you can get more trim that will get more hull out of water and better speed as a result. This boat does take a little bit of seat time to learn to drive fast. My first few trips were pretty scary. At 70 it’d start getting pretty unstable. After a few times I learned what steering corrections were needed to get ahead of it.

Love this! Thank you!

Cool feature in the soft wave landing, nitros gotta be the worst ride I Was sore for days after a BFL lmao thing slams the lake

[@DavidMccallister65]

You need a hydraulic jack plate and a Yamaha. I've got both and have no problem hitting 70 with a full tank and full load. The only thing I don't have is poles. It's a smooth riding boat but you do have to drive it once you break mid sixties because they want to chine walk.

Looked like u had some trim left in that top speed run?

[@jimmycline4778]

That boat sits high in the water like a 16ft bass boat, my Bullet 20xd with Mercury 225 sports Xs w sportsmaster lower unit does 84 easily, I’m surprised this boat doesn’t do low 70s with the fuel that’s in it! To each their own!

[@TheBasstead1]

What's your prop pitch

[@jgringo5516]

I believe the fuel tank in these boats is under the cockpit floor. Too much weight forward. It’ll ride soft in chop, but not “fast” on top end.

[@Amputee_Angler]

He was only turning 5650 on that proxs. That motor has 70mph in it

[@jamesbaker7476]

Boats seem alittle slower than other boats

[@DavidMccallister65]

It does do 70. Mine does with a full tank and a full load but I've got a hydraulic jack plate.

[@captainron3494]

68 that alright my buddy got a new gambler 19 with 200 better gas mileage and it run 76.3 I would of thought 71 with 225 but good looking boat

[@DavidMccallister65]

I call bs. There's no 200hp running 76mph lol

[@pirate7646]

CANT HERE MOTOR WITH MUSIC

[@riccochet704]

68 with a 225 is pretty pathetic, and the thing doesn't even have a full tournament load, poles, 2 more graphs and a full fuel tank. Can run mid 70's in a Phoenix 919 ProXP fully loaded.

[@DavidMccallister65]

You're watching the wrong video. Mine breaks 70 with a full tank and full load but I don't have poles.

[@bassident5735]

How many boat brands has Earl Bentz started? I can tell you how many he has sold out.....all of them! Easy to see the pattern of his business model. Big no for me.

FACTS

[@shoveitkarengunsandammotes4670]

The ultimate fishing boat for the river hands down built and over seen by EARL BENTS HIM SELF AND HANDS ON DETAIL FROM TODD FALK 👌 🙌 IF you this great check out the DV20 AND THE 28HB

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

Wrong prop! I run the same exact prop on a mercury 150🤷 That boat propped right should run low to mid 70's. And if it don't then take it back or put a sho on it🤷

[@High-techRedneckFishing]

That's the right prop. The fury prop with 24 pitch is the same as 25 pitch tempest. The 150 runs 23 pitch tempest.

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

So at 00:34 second's you can see it's a 23 pitch. Not a 24 like you mentioned in your comment. If a 225 can't run a 25 pitch prop then I say theirs a problem, wether anyone wants to admit it or not. And by your comment, I'm running a 24pitch prop on my boat. Which is a 23 tempest and you say equals 24🤷 my 16 year old XR6 150 hits 6k everytime I run it with a 23 tempest.

[@civilized5734]

the Caymas is a big wide boat and with a 225 not going to do mid 70s im sorry....my cx20 with a 250 is a mid 70s....i had a basscat P2 with a 200 before the cx20 and it would do 73 however rode like a wagon compared to the caymas...it all depends on what you are looking for

[@garretthale5670]

Not the best speed, no gear or poles , only seen 1 person when you took off, gear and tournament ready be lucky to hit 65 , I will keep my phoenix

[@dhooter]

I know more then a few guys in Southeast Tennessee that traded in their Phoenix rather quickly. Said they road like shit much like Falcons. But this is Bullet country lol
