With 6 people, 2 coolers and 1/2 tank of gas, I had Mark's boat ("pre-Mark") on plane WOT at 34mph on the handheld gps. Unfortunately fuel economy was lacking since we ran out of fuel trying to go 24 miles roundtrip in Biscayne Bay. Reading the GPs was one of the last things I remember that night...I guess that wide open is not the most economical cruise speed. I think thats a good engine choice if you are going "old school". Boat previously had a 140 johnson on it (V-4) that might have seen 40 mph on a good day, but drank more fuel than the yammie

Mark, that boat has led an incredible life, and now gets reincarnated to do it all over again....should treat you very well for the rest of your life...summers in the abacos, stored inside a warehouse for hurricanes, ample supplies of adult beverages spilled in the bilge, race comittee for sailboating's super rock-stars, it even got to greet the Whitbread R-T-W fleet in the middle of the night 25 miles offshore when they visited south florida....Kenny's son always had some hottie aboard....on and on...sneaking up on semi-smart bonefish will be a great retirement.
