    '93-204 SCX, '09 Yamaha 250 HPDI with a tuned 25 T-1. GPS 76.7@5900 with one person, full of fuel and loaded. Have to really drive it over 73. Edited: This was back in August. I imagine it would break 6K this time of year.
    My favorite cruise speed is around 45-50. Easy on gas, and easy on me.

    Well that thing was flying most of the time we run about 30 to 40 but every once in a while it's fun to air it out

    1994. 204 dcx with a mariner 225 carbon motor. My best was 71 with a 25 tempest plus. And with a 24 turbo lightning I hit 69. Theboat had little more in it. But I've recently sold it after someone hit it on a boat ramp. Now I own a 2100 gambler. Still love champions.

    I'm still a fairly new boater and normally just cruise, but have had her to 67 gps before I eased up.....I'm thinking she can do 70-72.

    I've had my gambler up to 74 with a balanced and blueprinted 27p tempest plus. I have winterized my boat but I can't wait to get back out and dial it in. Hoping to get 77 or 78 when I'm done. That's with a 225 option.

    Fastest i have had my little puddle jumper is 58 gps by myself on a good day with 2 people full tank of gas54 gps @ 6000 rpms turn an old trophy 23 p...still playing with setup...usually cruise around 40 - 45 sometimes 30 -35 im old and in no big hurry...i like to enjoy the scenery. It's pretty tight quarters in some places on table rock and speed can be lethal.
