Its all about set up. The right prop and engine height make a huge difference.

I have hit 41mph on GPS with a tired single 225hp Optimax on my 25ft Bertram FBSF and light load.

I have fished with 6 full size adults and 80 gallons of fuel and still hit 36mph+ with bimini up.

Its all about set up.

Talking Seacraft 23WA

I have a Honda 225 hp on my 23WA and the last time I had it checked by the Honda dealer here, he said that Honda told him I wasn't running the motor hard enough at top RPM. He says since I am still under warranty, go out and run it. I did and I was surprised, at 6000 RPM, I was getting 46 MPH on my GPS. That is moving and the boat felt a little light on the stern. I can't afford to do that ofter and my fuel flow gauge all shows 16 GPH.
