I doubt that Jason.......I think 30 mph is good enough to keep you on plane with that 225

I have been in some nice 17' boats before too and NO WAY have I gone that fast with little HP.....I've been in older ranger with 90hp merc, skeeter with 85hp johnny and a Nitro running a 125hp merc 4 cyilinder and never got over 50 period.....most of them were 42-45 mph Loaded......seems kinda intersesting that I can see 48-50 consistantly with tourney loads and 2 guys......heck I even had Tyson this spring and we were boucing right at 49.5-49.9 on GPS ......and both of us together was enough load by itself
