    Well....based on what I've read...75 isnt gonna happen when boat numbers are called. I talked w a 210 owner last year at the gas station next to my house. He said his boat would do 69 to 70 loaded. He loved the boat and wasnt knocking his speed in the least. Others say the same thing. Hard to push a 1900 lb hull to 75 when its loaded.

    If I plunk 60k down expecting 75 and I see 70, I wouldn't be happy.

    And no, 75 isnt as fast as some of the competition.

    We saw 74 on Scroggins 797 at the charger tournament at Truman and it was loaded to the gills,25 Croxton tempest
    So I would think the 210 which is a smaller boat it should be closer to the 72-74 loaded and 76-78 very light.

    74 with you in any boat is doing pretty darn good!

    Rode in a 2019 721 Phoenix with a flashed 250 SHO, ran 76 with 2 and half tank. That is comparable to me, sure a few are faster but not many without giving up ride and handling.

    I didnt mention ride or handling., just mph...? Lol. And my definition of "a few" must be different than yours. But, to each their own.

    Great looking rigs but the gelcoat finish was not that impressive to me.

    you can probably get that if you put a 300 on it or fash a sho 250. Will be hard to pass lie detector if you do tournaments tho.
