I finally got to run my boat for the first time yesterday, I bought it over the winter and up until yesterday never had it in the water. I tell you I couldn't be happier, the boat has an 01 175 Merc EFI on it with low hours. With 2 of us I'm not exactly light and my partner is 6'3 310 and some gear, about 3/4 full of gas, it ran up to 63mph no problem, great holeshot, and absolutely amazing lift. Its a great boat. I'm running a 24P trophy prop, no jackplate, motor is set about 4" below pad, about 5500RPM, I have a tempest prop to try on it and I'm working on a 10" j/p. (not that I need to go this fast or faster, but would like to if I needed too)
