    Low sixties, ride is awesome for an 18'er! Handling is great also. Not sure about fuel mileage but if you keep it around 4k it sips the fuel/oil. Ive got over 80 hrs on mine and I love it! Take a test fish in one and you will see for yourself!

    What Hank said! Low sixties gps. The 150 Pro XS is a great match. Pretty stable and a nice wide platform for fishing. The build quality is second to none. Rock-solid construction, awesome standard features. The dealer network and factory are first class.


    Check them out for yourself though -- it's your opinion that really counts!

    Im getting in the high 50s with mine but Jr thinks my jack plate needs to be raised a little The ride is better than most 20 ftrs and im figuring a little over 5 miles per gal @ around 4600 rpms

    My F150 is a little heavier than the pro xs and I've hit 61 in cool weather, slight chops on the water with full tournament load. 58 in hot weather. I don't know what the mpg is but I don't burn oil and it is quiet.

    </td></tr></table>Just like what Hank and John have said. Handles better and rides lot better than most 20ft. Out there. Easy low 60's with tour.load and 2 fat arses in it. (About 460lbs) Man my partner and I need to go on a diet.

    I don't think I'd get low 60's with that load (at least with my current setup)

    I will say I think it is easy on oil, way better than my 90 ELPTO was
