    My 2009 loaded, full tank of fuel, tournament ready with me and my wife, I photographed the GPS at 63.8. I am sure you can do better, I have never tweaked the jack plate or changed props.

    that is what I was thinking. I am new to bass boats so I am still learning how to handle it. I got mine up to 59 before I back out of her. I still had a little trim left and my rpm's were only at 52 to 5300.
