Hammer2o 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 I have read several times that this boat with a pair of 320 hp is a high 50, low 60 mph boat. http://www.montereyboats.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=100&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1 My 2004 with 300 hp Merc's is a high 40 mph boat, turning at 4,300 - 4,400 RPM's. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim Jim, I have a 2005 with 350 Mag's. I get mid-upper 50's on the boat speedo...never GPS'd it. We have the bimini top in place 99% of the time and it gets a little flappy at that speed. That's really moving in that boat. I'm not sure I would want to go much faster. We run Lake of the Ozarks, so on weekends it's 25-30 max with trim tabs set at 30%...crazy rough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
