Not a V-21, best my v-20 cuddy has done is 48mph, empty, in a flat calm river and trimming it out best I could.

Like others are saying, I rarely see water that flat, running 28 or so is just fine.

150 yamaha 2 stroke 14.25 x 17 prop I think I've seen 44 wind and current behind me. Tho I rarely push pin down 42 is guaranteed on the regular. It has been almost 11 years and still love this boat. Would like to add trim tabs but with the oldest kid in college and another one soon extra greenbacks are scarce around here.

I got my boat up to 46 knots. V20 cuddy with three sided enclosure, radar arch,etc. The boat runs fastest in a bay chop. I just installed a Yamaha Saltwater Series II 15.25x19 SDS prop. It shifts like butter and holds water all the way to full trim.

Coming out of Toms River my v20 does 31 MPH. That's on a calm day. Can't imagine what the boat would feel like at 40 or 50 MPH

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.

That should be right on target...and really flying along. Big prop but if you're getting full rpm's it can handle it.
