1900 Tyee with 200 Verado and 9.9 Kicker - 52 by myself, I'm right at the upper limit of the recommended RPM range at WOT so I could probably go up in pitch and pick up a little more speed but the boat handles so well with the current set up I think I'll leave it alone.

I thought i heard justin was getting a 209 but but a 219 jackplated will do just fine.

Well we've been in two tourneys with it the last two weeks now. All I can say is that it has made tourney fishing pretty darn fun! That and Yarcraft makes a damn nice "and fast" boat now days. The only boats we could see after a couple miles were other Yars.

Put this little video together of the shotgun start in New Town last week.

2014 alumacraft trophy 185 LE with a 175 Yamaha 4 stroke, I get 44-46 depending on conditions and how many people. I've never been in it by myself to check how fast it is with just me. When I fished the governors cup I wait a few seconds and let all the racers get going then I ride their wake. This setup seems to like to bong gas so I think I need to raise the motor up a bit.

I've had the 17-1/2 ranger with 115 Yamaha up to 85. But it was perfect conditions, flat road, no traffic and no cops in sight to catch me speeding down the road.

'87 17'8" Lund Sportsman w/90 hp Merc. Had it on the river with 4 full size adults, a 14 yr old football player and a full tank of gas. GPS said I was doing 38 mph on the plane trimmed out until she started to bounce. With just the wife and I I've had it at about 42-44 mph.

Alumacraft trophy sport 175 with 130 Honda 3 blade stainless prop 17p, 41 with just me, 38 with the family on board. Thought about switching to a 19p but boat plains out fast and I can troll down to 2-2.5mph with current prop. Top speed isn't that crucial to me, once she's pained out I back off the throttle and just let her cruise, no sense in burning extra fuel for 1 or 2 mph.

Depends what boat I'm in. 09 pro v 1800 with beat up prop with just me 53. 13 208 pro v GL for the big lake 59 but that burns 30 gph so don't usually run it that hard.

Lund Impact Sport 1775 with 115 HP Mercury 4 stroke - 42 mph, once. - normal load with two people. Perfect water conditions. Usually cruise at about 30 mph. I've never caught a fish going any faster and my home lake is a small one.

Cool Video 5575! I recognized a few of those boats right around you. The white one was filkowski and the purple/blue one was dooley. Not sure about the red one but they were down at pouch too both days. When you have to run that far in a tourney speed is everything.

2015 Warrior V2090 BTT with 250 H.O.E-tec, 20p RX4 4 blade prop. By myself I have hit 57, but the boat has always been loaded to the max. With 2 guys on flat water it gets 54-55mph, with a little bit of a chop i've had it to 56.5 with 2 guys. It has a great hole shot with that 4 blade prop and will troll down to 2.3-2.4 on most days. They say 3 blade(21p or 23p, cant rememeber) will push it almost 58-60.
