When I'm alone it 75-80+ because with the family I'm kept to around 60. I'm working on her though

100+ why own a hipo motor and not use it
besides I love the sound of a 280 at 8k+ rpm

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.

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).Keith-
