    Freeway speed feels like a relaxing cruising speed. Above that, in an open boat, it starts to feel like you are going fast...

    I agree with Markus. Above 90 in the bass boat and your face tries to beat you to death.

    Guess im not as fast as you guys, i typically cruise at 2500 RPM's, depending on the prop, no hurry to get anywhere, with the occasional rip in between.

    No old lady or passengers 86 mph it gets 7 mpg at 4500 rpm range of around 200 miles.

    With the girl friend 49.9 mph gets 5-6mpg. If u go 50 u get a flip flop to the back of the head

    In the Scarab, 50mph, 4400rpm cruise gets 1.05mpg.

    In the STV, if there are other boats around, about 55-60mph (below the hop). If no other boats around, 85-90 (over the hop and aired out).
