We don’t expect to streak around at 25 to 30 MPH, nor will we be happy running at hull speed any longer than necessary to comply with No Wake Zones.
A leisurely 18 to 22 MPH will probably be the sweet spot for our target speed and the drinking habits of those Detroit engines. But we want to be gliding along on plane at that speed and not wallowing along trying to get on plane.
