not too shabby. does she do 60 w/ both motors then??
General rule of thumb is add 50-60% in speed for an additional like-horsepower motor. So I'd guess top speed w/ both motors is between 45 and 48 mph

47 seems to be the magic number now. I do miss the 250's
running 65mph across Tampa Bay but I can fish for 4 days now on the same fuel I used in a day. If gas ever goes back below 2.00 a gal I will be hunting 250's to hang on the back again.

Hey "Bug", no need to get in a rush on those 250s, we ain't ever going to see gas that low again.
