This boat cruises fine in the 25- 35mph range.
It also handles fast cruising just fine too ............ and that's the thing. It's cool to have the HP to run 50mph +, and therefore zip along at 40- 45mph when you want to get there in a hurry and conditions allow.
I've already run my V21 from off the Jersey Highlands down to Seaside.
That's maybe 25 miles in the ocean and when it's flat or just rollers, sometimes I like to get going. Since i have the 150 hp on mine, that's about 30-35 for fast cruising. ( WOT is a hair over 40mph )
