    520L G2

    So, first day of Bass season up here...I had 20 rods, co angler, his tackle, full fuel, full oil, 13 bottles of water, 4 Northstar AGM’s etc....ran 72.3 at blastoff in flat calm with a Raker 26 ho, vents wide open (thx Rodney)...later in the day ran 71.2 with full wells, 5 Bass . I was running at 7 on the Atlas....

    very Impressed with how the new hull handles boat wakes....much softer than my z521....also no backwash... so with 15 hours I am very pleased, hope this helps....

    The G2 may be faster than the new Merc V8

    Not any crazier than the Texas Team Trail having finished their 2018 season already! Our spring is just finishing, then we have 3 months of pretty nice summer, and the fall fishing is often the very best. It’s all good.

    You are likely correct. By maybe a mph or two.

    How does the Yamaha 4-stroke compare to the G2 and Ranger V-8 in terms of top speed?
