    I love got a Merc optimax and run 69-71 loaded with two guys. I hit my fastest sped of 72.2 last weekend in ideal conditions. I know they did a couple modifications to the '17 models to reduce weight. They might be better.

    I hit 72.1 Last week alone 30 gallons fuel. It's no speed demon, but it is one heck of a fishing platform. Stable, huge front deck.. I think it's the ultimate team / partner fishing boat. I can stand next to my partner on either side of the trolling motor pedal, and not interfere with one another.

    I have a V20 with a SHO and RELiON lithium batteries. By myself and approximately 30 gallons of fuel I can see 74 routinely. I once saw 76. Loaded up with a co angler, full tank and full live well it's 70 tops. Loaded up I'm only able to turn 5400 RPMs. With a lighter load I see 5600 RPMs. I feel like the T1 25 pitch prop may be a little too much.

    I have a 2015 V20 with a Merc 250 and 24p fury prop. I have every add on you can get and keep it fully loaded with gear. I've hit 73.5mph a few times but generally I'm running 71-72. With a co angler and his gear it's about 69.
