My center console will do 45 on the good 'ole Garmin on a flat calm day in the ICW with a t-top and my curtains up with the 200hp Merc trimmed up and about a half load of fuel. I loooooove my '92 Merc!!!!!!!!

I also top of at 43 mph with my 97 150 Ocean Runner.

I'm falling in love with these small 2 strokers ;D ;D

I hit 38 on flat calm water, but I didn't mess with the trim much. I prefer to cruise right around 28.

I have a 1994 150 Johnson and I can hit around 40 to 45 mph with a good load. I find the boat runs much faster in a small chop as it stays on top of the water a little better.

Interesting... my dually 20' with an '86 Black Max 150 tops out at 43 on the GPS too.

It has outrun my buddies' 18' Grady with a 150 Evinrude on it. Barely, but there was no argument.

My '85 cuddy with top up, with Merc 170 I/O @ WOT has done 34.4 mph on the Garmin with 2 people in it and 34.3 on another day with 5 people in it. I found that interesting - friend says it's probably prop'd for torque rather than speed. Cruises mid 20's @ around 3400 rpm.

Test run after new brain install, runnin' into good wind at WOT, she just touchin' 6 grand and 41.6 mph was best I could get ... oh and trimmed up til she suckin' ducks ;) ...
