Loss of speed is one thing but the loss of manueverability with a stiff breeze at slow speeds could cause some embarrassment at some point.
I agree with Bgreene with a small stipulation, I think it is fairly well proven it don't take a stripped down version to see 60 mph with a 250, LOL. T-top, 40 gal livewell/leaning post, 94 qt igloo full of ice and beverage, dual batteries, stereo with 4-8" Pioneers that sound great, fresh and raw-water washdown, dual bilge pumps etc. Stripped down and no top I would think would be good for another 5 mph:-)
