    Triton 1860 with a 70 Suzuki. Around 33 mph on gps. I'm not into speed or I'd tweak the prop and add some trim tabs. I just want to get where I'm going and get back.

    I'd just as soon trailer my boat closer to where I'm fishing and not have the long runs

    Bass tracker with a 50hp. Can do 35mph if trimmed just right. Usually go 30. More than fast enough for me. Spend 95 percent of my time on the trolling motor so don't see a need to go any faster.

    xpress H20PFC with 150 Vmax SHO and 25 pitch prop, 6 jack plate, just me, a half tank of gas and my fishing tackle, my live wells full, ran 56 in a 1 foot chip turning 6200 rpm. Oh, and I ain't 73, only 56, but I am retired.

    OH, and that 56 was on the Helix 10 GPS.
