225 on a 23

[bumpdraft]

I have a 23, not a sceptre, but I could see that happening with weight. My top speed with light load is about 38-40. I don't usually have 4 guys on the boat, but I've had 3 with a full tank and enough ice, bait,chum,food and drink onboard for 3 days. My top speed then was probably close to 27 to 30 mph. I guess it depends on how big the guys were and what the gear was.
