Re: 43 mph on the river today
I hit 38 on flat calm water, but I didn't mess with the trim much. I prefer to cruise right around 28.

Re: 43 mph on the river today
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.

Re: 43 mph on the river today
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.

Re: 43 mph on the river today
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.
