The best I have drove his is 72 mph by GPS but so far he can only handle it up to around 65 to 67 and he has to let off because of chine walk. He's owned it less than a year and with more seat time it'll come to him. One thing you have to consider is running at elevation. We can't get the speeds that the guys in Florida can get at lower elevations. 77 is the best I've ever got with my Intimidator and that was in January while it was cold. I mostly fish Boone and Watauga but I do try to drive down to Douglas and Cherokee a couple time each year. Maybe we can hook up sometime.
