purchased a '99 22ZX from original owner who left boat stock. 350 Mag MPI, 300HP, Alpha 1 drive, 23 mirage plus. it will only do 59mph...checked w,GPS. How can I get more speed without sinking lots of $$$$. I am a rookie! 1st boat. Thanks.

Congrads on your purchase, 59 mph with a 350 does not sound all that bad. I would make sure the boat has the correct prop. It seems that the right prop can be least expensive way to increase speed. What prop are you running, and what RPM's can you pull it? Also you might try a K&N filter system (It seemed to help my 502).

Good Luck, the search for a few more mph's can be a expensive journey.

The last 22ZX we took in on trade was the EXACT same set up and it ran 68 on GPS..... :confused:

Try to track down SkiBeeZ71 on this board, he has an '01 22ZX with the same combo. He tells me he gets 67 mph with GPS. He is running a 24P Bravo 1 prop.

Take it from me, your speed is good, your prop is right, if you went to a 4 Blade bravo 1 it would be slower. Install a Wipplecharger on it and prop it out and add exhaust. It will cost less then 7,000 and be in the mid 70 mph range. That is about the cheapest most reliable thing you can do. If you need help call my # 1-302-249-1595. I intall and do this sort of work for a living.
