posted with op on fb about this,,,he wants a 50 mph boat.??? I am no motor expert, I have a 21 year 1998 the same hull ...I also had a 20 Potter for 30 years...The 21 is a 23 cut short, its a heavy boat since mine is rigged with t top and top mounted outriggers holds 95 gals fuel....So with a 2015 Optimax 200 and a cheep stock alum 17in prop I top out at 42 mph at 5300 rpm...note boat is rated for a 225....i can most likly change my prop and take down my outriggers and take a few things out of the boat and may be I could gain another 4 mph....So may be a 225 or 250 he can get closer to the 50mph he wants ???? PS I think my Optimax is 525 lbs and with a battery in the back and 2 big ass guys in the back I get NO water in at All...so may be he does not need a 300,,JMO
