Here’s a question that really means nothing. What is YOUR minimum top speed for a tournament bass boat? No wrong answers here; very subjective. Lots of people win lots of money out of a Fisher with a 40hp. Obviously 20-21 ft with 250hp is the rig for the pro boys. Fish can be caught out of anything that floats.
The “what is a tournament ready boat“; Rangers are slow”; various tin rig threads; etc. inspired the question. In y’all’s respective opinions how fast must a boat go to be a “legit fish catchin’ money winnin’ rig?”
Without thinking too much about why, I figure about 60mph is my number.
