Sorry to bring this up once again... but why does the Zenith website claim this performance figure?
I think this figure below is for the Rotax.
75% CRUISE (at) 8,000 ft. (TAS*)
155 mph
http://www.zenithair.com/zodiac/xl/performance.html
I would love this to be true...
but like my mother tried to beat in my head ... if it's too good to be true...
how does that go?
Kind Regards,
Andy Abreu

I have a Rotax 912S in my Zodiac witrh fixed pitch prop (17 degrees). I get about 130MPH at sea level and more at altutude (TAS). If I were to put a in-flight adjustable, I might do considerably better (so I'm told) ... so you don't know what prop equipement they are quoting either.

I can't speak for the Jabiru, so don't flame me anyone. I just got the figures from here: http://www.zenithair.com/zodiac/xl/specification.html
My experience is with the Rotax 912S.

Andre:
FYI… This figure is based on the Jabiru 3300 install I believe.
