John Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 2008 Princecraft Pro174SS, 90 4S Merc on rear.....120KPH all day with Ford F150 on front.... 38-40MPH on the water 2 up without the truck... I guess my take on this is really who cares about a top speed. If ya wanna go faster go bigger in general terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkpie Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 99 Lund rebel side console with 50hp honda. Best conditions, with 2 and gear, 30MPH. Don't know how much more I could get with a different prop, as that is close to redline. I generally run around 26-27mph when I need to get somewhere.
