Capttodd- take a look at the threat I started under photos, peanut island. I have a 77' 23 with a 200 Yamaha HPDI. Bushwacker made a great comment and there are a few pics.
Here was the info you asked for:
Per the post: When I bought the boat I thought with only a 200 it would be a dog. Far from it. A good crusing speed is 3600-3700 rpms. Boat is running about 22 kts while burning no fuel. Even with the top, yetis, fishing gear and 4 people, boat still gets up and goes. I would guess about 40mph wide open, 5500rpms medium load. Ran from the Boca Inlet to Palm Beach Inlet and back with 4 people and all the wife's BS, burned about 20-25 gallons all day. Boat holds 100 gallons.
