I'd imagine there's a huge number of lurkers on the forum with boats that don't reach 100mph, they just don't post much. 100mph is a smaller percentage than most actually think, imo.

I was 120+ in the late seventies in a friends big block Raysoncraft v-drive. My STV will do 110 easily.

You could always do a poll with multiple answers. 79 and below, 80-90, 90-100, 100-110, 110+
I personally have only had my V21 up to 85 so far.

this is my best prop and a good day, but with the prop I use 99% of the time 90's but lots of punch, Matt

I think most every STV and Mirage with a 225 or bigger, should be a slam dunk on 100 plus.

Top-end is great every once in a while but punch makes me smile, that is why I run my small prop most of the time, Matt
