    I'd guess right around 70. Had a 180 with a 175 that would run 67. I'm sure someone that has the same boat will chime in.

    I have a 188 Cobra with 200efi. I agree with 70.

    It's a 25 Trophy. I can hit 70 with just me in the boat, not a full tank of gas, and empty livewells. I don't carry a huge amount of fishing gear either. At that speed mine does get a little light on the water and occasionally might take a step (walk) just a bit but not enough to cause any control issues. You should comfortably be able to do mid 60s.
