    I have seen 71 with tackle load and light fuel load running by myself. I can hit 68 pretty consistantly with my dad and i full of gear and fuel. I run a 24p bravo prop and a 6” atlas at top speed right around 2.75” below pad. This prop handles well you have to drive these boats at 62 plus tho but once you get the feel and load balanced its alot better. I love this boat and the 200 merc is flat out awesome.

    68-70 is a realistic speed.

    This is what I am seeing. 70 by myself with 1/2 tank of fuel. 68 with a passenger.

    I can reach 70 MPH by myself - as long as I can drive it. After 67 MPH it becomes pretty interesting.

    Ditto to the above, although I am running the 200 6cyl.
    Really impressed with this boat hull. Verry happy with it. Is a very nice smooth ridding 55-60 mph boat even with a bit of chop. After that it does get a bit squirrly. Nice calm flat day and a light load just out playing I got 68 out of it. Higher you get the prop, the better it gets. I probably still can come up some more.

    Buying a New Triton 18trx w/ 200 Merc with dual axle trailer. The single axle is advertised as 21’ 10” with swing tongue.
    Can anyone tell me what the length on trailer is w/swing tongue and motor trimmed down on a dual axle with the swing tongue
    I am told it is about the same. Thanks!
