    Light load should be 63-65+ depending on motor and prop.

    I'm getting mid 50's. But I carry a tackle shop with me.

    I think right around 60 loaded is what you should expect when set up correctly. The best I ever saw loaded with two guys and my 02 XR6 was 62.5 . I'm still breaking in my new motor, but I'm hoping I'm at least as fast as before. I only have a 6" JP and I think they perform better with 10-12" of setback. I also run a trophy plus. It handles great, but probably not the fastest prop. I think if you're expecting to see mid to upper 60's with a tournament load you'll be disappointed.
