[QUOTE="Still_Learnin', post: 80273, member: 1704"] Not trying to start a peter measuring contest here (although I'm sure it will turn into one) but I'm always curious of some of the speeds I see for some of these big walleye rigs with, sometimes, 300 hp engines hanging on the back. Coming from the bass boat world, that's a big motor! But our boats are also much lighter and built for speed. So please, list here what your top speed is and what you make/model of boat is along with your motor size. I'd also be interested to see what kind of a ride it is at that speed. If nothing else, this could be some good info for anyone else that's looking to buy a boat. If your boat has a jackplate, that would be good to know as well. I'll start. Keep in mind that this is a bass boat so while its built for speed, it would end up in about a million pieces if I tried to go across Sak on it's average day at my top speed. 2007 Triton TR21X w/ 225 Merc Pro XS 6" jackplate running the motor 3" below pad. Top speed was 69 mph. That motor blew up in October and I have since repowered with a 250. Haven't had a chance to break it in but maybe 73-75 now? I'll know this summer. [/QUOTE]
