Re: Ride characteristics: 77 23' Septre with 225 Merc
IF the motor is healthy, and there isn't a bunch of weight added to the boat (top/etc), cruise at about 27, top end of about 41 with 2 people, light load. I have a merc 250 efi on mine, with a large top, and I cruise at about 26, buring 14 gph or so, with a top end of about 40 with 4 anglers, and a bunch of gear. Alot will depend on the prop, I am using a 4 blade power tech. I gave up 2 mph in speed, but picked up alot in economy and stern lift.
