Unleashing the 151 Exhilarator: A 75HP Powerhouse Test Run

This past week, we embarked on a thrilling adventure on the Exhilarator, putting a powerful 75HP motor to the test. While we must caution against its use due to its incredible torque and high speeds, our primary goal was to showcase the incredible footage we captured! On the safer side of things, the 60HP option may be slightly slower, but it guarantees a more secure experience. This makes it an excellent choice for boat rental locations!

I’m interested in one. With the 75 now available and some prop changes I’m sure I can hit 50 which would be acceptable plus being able to pull tubes and skiers effortlessly.

Can this boat be taken offshore in light 2-3 foot sea chop?

We haven't yet ventured into the open sea, but we have navigated the PCB channel during Memorial Day weekend. The waters can be somewhat rough with large wakes, but our boat handles it well. I recommend watching our latest videos, "Taking The Exhilarator 151 In The Bay!" and "Exhilarator 109 and 151 Review," which should address many of your questions. If you have any further inquiries, feel free to call me directly at 229-815-7908.

What’s the top speed looking like? Estimated max range?

[@Directboats1st]

with the 75 HP we got 43MPH out of it with 3 fully grown men but we recommend the 60 HP. (goes around 38MPH)

I'm interested in a small family ski boat, is 60hp enough umph (it probably is, based on my personal experience) to pull a slalom skier up with authority?
Also about re-entry in deep water, is there some kind of step or ladder on the transom?
