[QUOTE="kfa4303, post: 250140, member: 7274"] I'd say 35-40 mph is about right. You might be able to squeeze a bit more out with proper prop and trim combo and by shedding some weight, but at that speed you wouldn't notice the 2-3 mph you might pick up very much. To get significantly faster, you'd have to step up to something like a 70-90 hp, which is probably too big for the boat. Not to worry though, 35 mph is pretty dang quick when you're on the water in a vessel with no brakes that can and will eventually hit submerged objects at speed. Not to mention the fact, that big speed means big dollars when it comes to $4/gal fuel and upkeep. [/QUOTE]
