    Out ran by a Nitro Z9 w/250 Merc

    Well, not exactly. :)

    Fished a tuesday night tournament at a lake by the house the other night. While we were waiting to start, this guy asked me how fast my 22SF is. I replied, "I have only had it to 82 so far, im guessing it would run 84-85 if i tried real hard". His reply was , "Is that all? Hell, i run 86 all the time in mine! I thought Bullets were supposed to be fast" I guess im gonna have to sell mine and get a Nitro now.

    Yea, I know a guy with a Nitro Z7 with a 150 and tells everyone he gets 68 with full fuel and over 70 light. I’ve offered to verify that with my GPS. He always declines though.

    Yeah no way, I'm sure i could remove everything within reason from my Z18 w/175 and come nowhere near. (usually 62-65 for me depending on load)

    Funny people out there, imo speed doesn't mean much until you're in a tournament setting.

    I love talking to these kind of people because when it's time for the rubber to hit the road the excuses they have will be a mile long. I'm loaded to heavy today, ain't got my speed prop on today, waters to rough, too much fuel. Blah blah blah blah.

    Like alli ss signature says It ll run 80 if you can

    You would think that with a newer boat he would have a depth finder with a GPS/MPH on it. And yet he still wants to tell a bign!!!

    Ha! Yeah, by now i have heard most all of them! It was always fun out running those 90mph Tritons with 225's when they first came out. Usually only needed to break 72 to do it. lol

    You never know, may be a sleeper. I've run across a few. Had a 20' triton outrun mine and a few other bullets on lake Concordia.

    And itll run 87 if you can run 86. I just go with 1mph faster than they say every time- which is usually 10-12mph faster than i need to be in reality

    Mine is pretty slow as far as 20 footers go, due to my fear of pain. I have had quite a few people ask me how fast I was going when I passed them, because they were running 72, 73, 74, etc when I passed them. Most of the time I was only running 70 or so. If I have a passenger I rarely run more than 65-70 just because.

    My 21XD/250XS is one of the slowest bass boats in Minnesota.

    I get the "is that all?" regularly.

    Sounds like me and you both are going to have to work on our boats a little. I got rid of my wife a few years ago, she was slowing me down. What can you spare? :)

    When I went last Monday, I got asked how fast will your boat run? 5 times, I think I'll start wearing a hat with 90mph on it
