			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.
