Looking at this boat with Merc 250 Opti. Anything negative I should know before I purchase? Can I see mid 70's if set up properly? Anything else is greatly appreciated. Owned older 201 but have never been in the Evolution.

I have a 2009 Evolution but mine has the 250 ETEC HO. I think mid 70's are about right depending on setup and load. I really like my boat, it fishes good, handles great. The only things I've had to replace was a livewell pump, bilge pump float switch and a power switch. The only complaint I've ever had was the junky cup holders. I did have issues with the trailer but Stratos fixed that problem.

Thanks David!
Mid 70's should be no problem. I prefer running a four blade for overall performance and handling.
