It's not trips but it is still fun going fishing at 94.7 (Feb 2017) with the 1.62 case and 93.5 (today) with the 1.75 case. This is with the 30p Hydro q4xob. Small local club tourny tomorrow, guess whose getting to their spot first with a shot gun start.
what motor you running
93.5 with 1.75 is prob more fun.
Been running a stiff 24 1.75 gears lately which is cookie cutter slow up top. But is very quick accelerating and great outta the hole. Great for family boating
Great running Dean! ..... Dean is in the clouds 4500 feet up and a 300xs

4500 feet. Impressive
Thank's, I read all the posts about fishing in the mid to high 90's or trips and am very envious. I have worked at this since 2007 and have never been able to go fishing in the trips but I still have a ton of fun.
I'm saving the 1.62 case as the 1.75 still has 4 months of warranty. That being said the 1.62's are faster with or without a fishing set up.Originally Posted by xb03fs
I love my 1.75 I don't think anybody can run 90's fishing as heavy as we do
I carry 65/70 lbs tackle (ballast), 11 rods, 10# anchor, 15# tool box, on board battery charger, life vests, net, extra cloths, water and ice, 2 gal min oil, 1/2 tank of gas and 3 Optima 31 series batteries. Not a lite weight but not real heavy compared to a lot.
I'm the same except no anchor or tool box, but I do have another 60 pounds of lead to balance the boat. Still runs mid 90s with a 26 pitch prop, I love it!

Your able to run the 26p based on the X vs XS. When I ran a 26 I would be on the limiter well before 90 especially with the 1.75"s. My 28p q4xob will run high 80's at 6350/6400 with the 1.75's.
