Hello,
I'm looking into buying a used 1991 Javelin 389T single console boat. The boat is in great shape, and I have fished out of it multiple times. I really love the way the boat is set up and the way it fishes. Personally I can't believe that this boat was manufactured so long ago. Either way, my main question is what kind of speed can I expect from this boat. This is not necessarily a stock boat: The set up to my knowledge includes
A 2006 Mercury Optimax 150. I am not sure what the size of the prop is, but it a Tempest. The boat also has a 6" Jackplate. I know that this boat runs very well, and I've been in it while the boat was running 5500 rpms, and I know it could run higher. I was curious what everyone thinks it could run? I know it is set up ideally as the current owner is a manager at a marine dealership, and spent some time with the boat. I am quite sure it is capable of mid 60's speed.
Thank you for your time,
